Hello,

First of all, please forgive me of my ignorance about some of the details of
system administration... I'm a Linux user but not an administration expert ;-)

Basically, I need to know what kinds of things need to be done in order to get
OTRS running on a remote server where I only have limited access to a specific
portion of the server (i.e. I have permission to modify the bit where I keep my
web page).  I'm hoping that I don't have to beg the sysadmin to install this for
me...

I'm trying to install OTRS on a remote server.  I do not have admin rights to
the entire server, of course, and I need to know what needs to be done server
side to get the "otrs" user set up correctly.

The installation instructions specify that I need to give the "otrs" user the
same access rights as the web server user.  Would the creation of the "otrs"
user with the same access as the web server user be something that would cause a
security problem for the sysadmin?  I ask because it seems that if there is an
"otrs" user which I have access to but who also has the same permissions as the
web server user it would be a problem for a security minded web host.  Might
there be any workarounds that I could use in order to create the appropriate
"otrs" user that would not cause a security problem?

Thanks in advance,
--Evan.
