[Typo3] changing user in phpShell

[Christoph Koehler]

So, I set everything writeable to all with my account, install typo3 as  
nobody and then turn everything back to non-writable with my account. Can  
I modify any files that I install with nobody with my normal account then  
or will I run into problems later?

Thanks for everyone's answers so far!!
