there are, by default, no files in the site config dir that need modification
by users.  it's all config files.

if you're trying to setup a sitewide bayes/awl, then you'll need to have the
files writable by everyone, basically.

I would suggest moving the bayes/awl files to a different directory and
granting permission there to the whole dir.  you don't want to open your site
config dir up to all your users.

alternately, use sql.
