apache User directive
 
I was just wondering, when I create a new group and user for the Apache User directive, what is a common name. Should I just call them both apache ?

I tend to use apache. Some distros just use nobody.

Yes, that's what my default httpd.conf file has in it, but in the Apache documentation it is said:

"Some admins use user nobody, but this is not always desirable, since the nobody user can have other uses on the system."

So I thought I'd better change this.
