Hi All,
I've got localhosting set up and I'd like to edit a folder as user www, but
sudo -u www mate folder_name
doesn't seem to work as expected. This could be because I don't know the default Mac OS X www user password, I need to modify the sudoers file, or because sudo doesn't pass privs to Textmate when called via mate, as Allan seems to suggest here: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2006-November/014625.html
Is this possible, or should I add it to the Wiki requests page? If it is possible, can someone point me in the right direction?

You can change the default User/Group for Apache:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
The 2 lines start on line 227 in the default config file. Change them to your user and group and then restart Apache.

Just make the files user: you, group: www.
Just a small hint,
Use the NetInfo Manager application (in the /Applications/Utilities folder) to check out all your users and modify their passwords.

Be very careful when using NetInfo Manager and making changes!!! If you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing, things can go very bad very quickly.
Before you do it be good to make sure your system has created a backup of the NetInfo Database, in case anything goes wrong. I won't explain how you restore the back up here, 'cause it's very involved.
Needless to say, I once made I minor change thinking I knew what I was doing, and massive problems ensued (and no I'm not a n00b to UNIX or Macs, although I am to programming, I just didn't realize the full consequences of my minor change). I had to change it back to the backup which is a pain indeed.
NetInfo is very weird and it's often not the only place you need to make the changes for them to be affective.
Just a warning, good luck! -Brian
