Re: Does "nobody" is considered as group-member of others?

Hi,

the operating system (Unix) considers a php-server as a user with name
"nobody". For example, if my php-script saves a file uploaded by a
user, the owner of the file will be "nobody". I would like to know if
"nobody" is considered as "group" or "others" (in terms of the "chmod"
command)? In other words, is "chmod g+w dirname" sufficient to allow
to "nobody" to write in the directory "dirname" or should I use "chmod
o+w dirname"?

Thank you.


Why aren't you asking this in a Unix newsgroup? It has absolutely nothing to do with PHP.
