Summary: The files under /var/www/htdocs are by default it seems all owned by root:wheel. What are the issues with changing that to be a normal user?
The long version.... My work flow involves building a directory structure on another machine and using 'rsync' when I am ready to transfer it to the OpenBSD machine to be served by the public facing webserver. Having the files owned by a user other than the one I log in as for a rsync session is causing all sorts of headaches and warnings from rsync. So I have changed the ownership of all the files and directories to be foo:foo where 'foo' is the user/group name I login as. This makes my life much simpler. But I have a nagging doubt that I am doing some thing I will regret. Perhaps I need to use rsync differently or modify my workflow....
