Guys,
Installing Apache on my slice, and am trying to do my best to make it secure as possible. I've been reading about things and I've come across something I think is a great idea:
Even though its the root who will start apache, its better if I have another user (apache) actually take over once the server has started.
My only question is this: Do I need to give the user "apache" sudo rights? My initial assumption is no, since that would defeat the purpose of not having "root" serve the hits to my site, but will "apache" need to have sudo rights at any time?
Thanks,
Joe
