    okay pretty funny story i just heard

    so my friend was using the 10day guest pass for WoW, played for two days, then decided to go ahead and get the full version. so he went to wal-mart and got it, when he got home he saw the someone had taken off the cd-key sticker on the cd envelope. so he goes back to wal-mart, manages to get it exchanged (checks for the key at the store). when he gets home he goes to type in the cd-key to upgrade his account. as he is doing this he realizes that he can upgrade his account to full online, which would've been much easier considering the game was already installed from the cds i gave him.

    so okay, you'd think, no big deal. but he drives *back* to wal-mart thinking he can get a refund, which i told him stores won't do with games. so of course he returns home with the box and slapping himself for not bothering to notice the big upgrade button.

    wtf windows.

    I'm trying to setup a user account for Apache (I know my way around Apache better than IIS) to run under and I want to limit that user to only the necessary directories so that if Apache is compromised the attacker won't be able to walk all over my filesystem. I created a user account called Apache and by default it gets added to the Users group, which has read permissions across the entire drive. I removed the Apache user from the Users group, but the Apache user is still tied into the Users group somehow. For any folder the Users group has access to, the Apache user does too. I can specify Deny permissions for the Apache user that will override the Users group permissions or I can remove all access the Users group has, but there has to be a way to fix this properly. Anyone?

    Also, the Apache documentation says the Apache user should be in the Users group, though I don't see why that's necessary? It also says it should be given the "Act as part of the operating system" privledge, yet it doesn't explain why it needs it and the server starts up without it. Anyone have experience with Apache on Windows?

    Oh, and this is Windows Server 2003 with SP1.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks.
