You may be right Lumir.  I meant no disrespect to Dan.  It seems he does not
understand what I am looking for.  I just thought (from what I have read and
heard) that anything was possible with Linux. Meaning you can customize your
server.  I have experience with NT servers, this is my first Linux type box.
It seems to me that I should be able to configure the server itself so it
does not use the "nobody" name.  If there is not a way to do this, or no-one
has figured out how to do this, I will try other methods.

An additional question to this brings to mind would be... How would
installing FormMail work with the FrontPage forms?  Don't the FrontPage
forms use FrontPage script which means having formmail installed won't help
those forms?  I have many customers using FrontPage.  I get a lot of hosting
business from a local University that has FrontPage classes.  I surely do
not want to exclude those customers.

Where is this file located, so I can look at it?

Thanks,
