But shouldn't it be www:www-data? Or at least put www into group www-data
by default if you want to change it. Then you can just chmod g+w if you
want write access to some HTML-Files/directories. And the httpd server
should be able to read his HTML-files if you ask me :-) even if they are
not world-readable.

I set up a mailinglist, so we do not need to flood the -devel list.

Just send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe.

Read you there,
