Description Matthew Kirkwood 2000-06-18 15:24:00 EDT

And I am not alone in considering this a bug.  Please, please, _please_
could this change to a specific "httpd" userid?

Now would be as good a time as any, since the new FHS-compliant directory
layout breaks a lot of things anyway.

Starting with apache-1.3.12-11, apache now executes as "apache.apache"
by default.
