Hi,

In the book, apache user is created with the home directory /dev/null.
This default setting
works perfect, until I installed ViewVC. It took me a long time to
figure it out.

I guessed
ViewVC just tests whether the home existed or not, and in this case,
/dev/null existes. So it looks
for the file, and thus makes the program fails.

A quick fix is to change the home directory of user apache to anything
but not files. However, I suggested creating an empty directories for it.

I added a note to the book and an entry to the User Notes.

This type of report would be better as a new ticket so the editors won't
forget about it.  Its not necessary in this case because it is already
fixed.
