Or even worse, the 3.14 rpm from 7.2 installed on top of LM7.1 changed
the httpd owner to a new user called 'apache' !  Frankly I would like
to know about changes like this *before* I upgrade, not after as I
scramble around to fix things.

The standard user for this purpose has always been nobody or www.
Could the install script not check if those are already being used,
and such a user exists, and then leave the current setup alone ?

Thanks... Dan.
