I'm a newbi, but it seems that there is much more power in this forum
than the newbi forum - hope it dosn't bother annyone that I ask this
question here :)

I have read somewhere that it is a good idea to make you'r
applications run under specific users, and not under root. How is the
best way to configure such a user, as an example a user for the Apache
httpd deamon (i got so far as to name the user httpd). Should it be in
a specific group, have restricted rights and so on...
