Subject: HEADS UP: Apache port change from nobody:nogroup to www:www planned
To: ports@FreeBSD.ORG, developers@FreeBSD.ORG
Due to Apache mis-use of nobody:nogroup UID/GID (user nobody must not own
any file in the system), I plan switch apache to www:www instead. 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.
