[rt-users] belaboring a point

[Simon Thornington]

Well, the first error I get is that it can't write/create the log file in
the rt:rt-owned log directory I've created (/usr/local/rt/log)

drwxrwxr-x  2 rt  rt  512 Sep  4 15:22 log

I have been able to get further by chowning the log dir to nobody etc, but
problems will still crop up.  (Next in the WebRT sessions directory, and
so on and so on.)

I'm sort of fundamentally unsure how perl scripts interpreted inside
mod_perl inside an httpd running as nobody could promote themselves to
another user in the first place, since there is no forking of suid CGI
scripts involved, but perhaps I'm missing something.

Cheers,

Simon.
