As a newbie, working in my basement disconnected from the world I have
logged in as root each time I start Apache.

The linux administrators guide I have been reading talks about daemons
running as root as a potential security hole and potentially distructive.

What do most web sites do?  Do I create a user "Apache" and only let that
user have security rights to directories that it uses for its own programs
and content?  Is there a how to somewhere for this?

Thanks,

Larry Nobs
