I don't remember/understand any changes I may have made well enough to be
able to do this.  I'm sure it will be fine. :)

Any custom tweaking that went on would only have been to make Apache play
well with ulimits (despite the fact that we wanted Apache not to be
subject to them but couldn't figure out how to do that).  We won't be
using ulimits on the new servers, so I don't see any particular reason to
preserve old configuration instead of doing whatever you would do in a
fresh sysadmining situation.

We may even want to only enable userdirs on mire, to keep all member web
serving in one place.  Any thoughts on this?

I'd still love to replace these separate passwords with an Apache module
that would use system passwords.  Has the situation changed since we last
looked into this, such that someone can recommend a good, secure way of
doing that?
