It breaks some related ports and they should be fixed by their maintainers. Moreover, it breaks existen cgi-bin-write setups too, group nogroup should be changed to www by webmasters. Questions are: What is the best way to _automatically_ add www:www to /etc/{passwd,group}? I think about 'pw' command, but it will be nice if somebody already have working example. I plan to add www:www to default etc directory passwd/group too. What is the best numerical value, if any, for www UID/GID? Any other comments, of course, welcome. -- Andrey A.
