in this case, apache installation seems to be magically perfect :^) or, in other words, zope is a great tool, but still needs a better installation. K.
hi all,
from my own experience i know user nobody is 99 and group nobody is the same on linux, but BSDs seem to have another convention there. on a FreeBSD box i looked at right now nobody was user 65534 or so.
as chris mcdonough remarked earlier in this thread, it is much more important to get acquanted to your version of tar and use it so that your untarring user gets ownership. there is no way anyone could package up a zope distribution to make the ownerships suitable for all possible users out there.
i think common sense is, as always, a better guide than expecting that things will magically be perfect.
