Hi, all -- ...and then [email protected] said... % Hi *, [BTW, I immediately understood and appreciated this ;-] % ... % What is correct - www or wwwrun? [snip] I have long preferred having a wwwrun user with a wwwrun group so that the daemon can update any files it *should* but also a www user with both www and wwwrun groups so that it can update content that the daemon should *not* be able to change (plus anything the daemon can change, since the owner might trim or rotate or whatever). Writing a log file? Definitely the run user. Changing a static content file for some quickie cgi script? Sure, although the whole idea is a kludge. Changing the script itself or any other content? Noooooo ... So, having followed this thread as well as my befuddled old brain can keep up, I have come to the understanding that there is no longer a differentiation between the run user (limited modify ability) and the content owner (changes OK). How do folks keep things secure these days? TIA & Have a great week :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt
