In May, 2014, we had to change from the

apacheold:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/bin/bash
webuser:x:110:110:Apache:/var/www:/bin/bash
[root@moog cgi-bin]# egrep 'apache|webuser' /etc/group
oldapache:x:48:mail,mailman,webuser
webuser:x:412:mail,mailman
cvs:x:503:vc,cxh,eal,hudson,webuser
vc:x:504:webuser
guest:x:1200:webuser
mailman:x:41:mail,webuser
[root@moog cgi-bin]# 
</pre>

and running
<code>pwck</code> and <code>grpck</code>, the following steps were necessary:
