[gentoo-dev] UID/GID for www-applications

Hello.

I need UID/GID for www-apps/redmine. Originally package creates own user
and group named redmine, but I think it's better to create generic
user/group for all web-applications, like www-data in Debian/Ubuntu or http
in Arch.
Is there any suggestions about this proposal?

Does redmine even work when run through apache? The ebuild goes to a lot
of trouble to make everything owned by "redmine," but then the apache
vhost runs as the default "apache" user.

Running multiple web applications as the same user is a bad idea in
general, but it's hard to say what the best solution is without knowing
how well things work currently. For example, if using apache doesn't
work, I'd say definitely leave things alone: it's better to run the
built-in rails server as a separate user from all of the other web apps
on the machine.
