I used debian. fewer services, fewer problems but It created a nobody user and a nogroup group during install so was easy for me adduser and addgroup helps here too
You can login and do all your work as root, just chown everything nobody:nogroup and make sure your distro inits perl assp.pl under the nobody user and/or set the user/group settings in assp.cfg or gui setup to match the file ownerships i had this problem too at first install in 2007 were root was writing files nobody couldnt read. make sense?
