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?
