I'd prefer /var/www or /var/apache. /usr and /usr/local should at least be possible to mount read-only. Usually you don't want your apache stuff on a ro partition. /home/httpd just seems wrong to me, but I cannot excactly say why. Somehow I feel that everyone that owns files on my /home partition should be a "real" user (i.e. Humanoid)... ;-) > Speaking of apache, it would be better to use > something other than nobody:nobody by default.

I don't like modified versions of standard tools. I'd rather have a script that does the job for me, and has a different name (i.e. addusrgrp). Just my 0.02€. Greetings Gert
