I just had a very interesting conversation with a Unix neophyte about
running a CGI script via an Apache web server on Solaris.

neophyte: When I run my script from the command line, the script
works.  Why doesn't Apache run my script?
me: Because Apache runs as nobody and nobody doesn't have permission
to run the script
neophyte: But I want anybody to run the script
me: Then we have to change the permissions so nobody can run the script

>From there the dialogue quickly devolved into a "Who's on first"
conversation.  All that's missing are users anybody, somebody, and
everybody to round out the quartet.

I've very glad that, at least under Ubuntu, Apache runs as www-data.

Regards,
