| Summary | 0003930: Use same user/group as Sun apache2 package | ||||||
| Description |
CSWapache2 uses the User nobody and Group nobody to run the httpd. Sun apache2 (at least on Solaris 10) uses a dedicated user/group webservd. That's better, because the user can thus be limited in rights even more (or maybe the other way around: that user can be easily given more rights). Especially when granting additional rights, that's something you do of course *NOT* want to do when a "generic" user/group like "nobody" is used. Because of that, it would be good, if CSW would follow what Sun does, as it makes a lot of sense: Please use User webservd and Group webservd. |

Could I suggest that you simply modify your local configuration to run CSWapache2 as any desired uid/gid you choose? I agree that 'nobody' is not a good choice and I'll investigate what a change in this setting would impact. That being said there is nothing that _requires_ you use this value, it's just the default. |

Not a necessary change as site can provide preferred user/group by configuration. |
