[webstack-discuss] Administration of Apache stack for non root user..?

[ludo]

Hi,

I've created some Start menus to operate the SXDE samp stack, as well as 
a system tray menu.
All is working for the root user. I am planning on adding a 'initialize' 
menu that would need to run as root, that would add all the necessary 
privileges to the non root user (that user which is also created when 
installing SXDE b70 or above).

I am reading http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0605/819-2887.pdf
and my hope is such setting (very complex imo for a simple person like 
me) would be handy for the Developer using SXDE...

Let me know if this is the right direction.
Basically, a new Solaris role would be created ('webstack' as a role 
name?) that would be added to the solaris user.
This role would allow to
stop, start apache, mysql (possibly postgres), view/changes log files or 
config files or Dbs, etc...

I see some predefined groups in Solaris (postgres, webservd,mysql,...) 
Should we use them instead or use this new 'webstack' role to represent 
a typically WebStack AMP developer?

Thanks for your views on that,

Ludo
