[Typo3-linux] Setting user to create files with

[cam at dacha.ca]

Hi all --

This is a general setup question . . . which might not even be within Typo3
intself.  Typo3 installs fine, however, whenever it creates new files (ie.
through 'Filelist' or 'Ext Manager') it creates the files as the 'nobody' user
in my web space.

However, I don't have access to that user, and the system chokes when it
attempts to later write to those files.  PHP is set to run in SAFE_MODE, so that
any files owned by my default author, can't run any scripts installed by 'nobody'.

What I want to do is have the files created as my user name (in this case,
'cam').  Is there a way to specify what user creates the new files?  Maybe a
variable within Typo3, or perhaps it's a general PHP setting?

Any insight would be great.  

Best,
Chris.
