Hello All, Just curious, it it dangerous to allow www-data to own /var/www? /var/www is the home directory for www-data, but I noticed that the default user and group for /var/www is root. Is there a reason for this?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm installing a Trac site with some Trac Hacks, and python has to uncompress some of the egg files when loading them. The default location to do this is /var/www/.python-eggs, since /var/www is www-data's home directory. Please let me know whether or not it's okay to make www-data the default user and group for /var/www! Thanks in advance. BTR
