My lighttpd.conf specifies:

Code:
server.username      = "lighttpd"
server.groupname     = "lighttpd"

server.modules += ("mod_cgi")


But does lighttpd use some other user/group name to run CGI scripts? I've been trying to control permissions in the html directories using ACLs (rather than just granting world permissions). Generally this works fine. But it seems like some of my CGI scripts are not able to read other files when by the entries I have set (with the correct entries for the lighttpd user and the mask) they should be able to read them. I thought maybe it was the "nobody" account, but it didn't seem to help if I grant "nobody" permissions also.
