Summary:
The files under /var/www/htdocs are by default it seems all owned by

The long version....
My work flow involves building a directory structure on another machine
and using 'rsync' when I am ready to transfer it to the OpenBSD machine
to be served by the public facing webserver.
Having the files owned by a user other than the one I log in as for a
rsync session is causing all sorts of headaches and warnings from rsync.
So I have changed the ownership of all the files and directories to be
foo:foo where 'foo' is the user/group name I login as. This makes my
life much simpler. But I have a nagging doubt that I am doing some
thing I will regret.
As long as the files are not modifiable by the webserver, you should be
fine.
Now and then I create user:user directories somewhere under /var/www/...
and create a symlink to it from ~user/www.

Perhaps I need to use rsync differently or modify my workflow....
