Summary: Use same user/group as Sun apache2 package
Description:
CSWapache2 uses the User nobody and Group nobody to run the httpd. Sun
apache2 (at least on Solaris 10) uses a dedicated user/group webservd.
That's better, because the user can thus be limited in rights even more (or
maybe the other way around: that user can be easily given more rights).
Especially when granting additional rights, that's something you do of
course *NOT* want to do when a "generic" user/group like "nobody" is used.
Because of that, it would be good, if CSW would follow what Sun does, as
it makes a lot of sense: Please use User webservd and Group webservd.

Not a necessary change as site can provide preferred user/group by
configuration.
