+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Now, maybe each web server package should check if this /var/www/html

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /var/www/lighttpd, etc.)? Or should that be better handled by a
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> separate unique package?

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> It would be annoying to have to chown the writable directories when

+</I>&gt;<i> Fine with me.
+</I>Well, some days ago I pushed a 'webserver-base' package, with the
+following elements:
+- /var/www and /var/www/html directories
+- 'apache' user
+- index.html page
+
+I've been curious, however, at the exact amount of shared elements our
+various webservers packages currently use. And actually, only two
+(apache and lighttpd) do share user and document root, the two others
+(nginx and cherookee) being totally independant.
+
+In Fedora, they are all independant.
+
+So I'd rather revert the change, and make lighttpd autonomous also.
+Unless someone can convince me there is an advantage having lighttpd
+executing as 'apache' :)
