I am really liking the functionality of FUDForum, despite my many questions to this forum so far. I do have another though. When FUDForum is installed, it sets the ownership of many of its files and folders to "nobody" on my server. Because of this, I am not able to move, edit or do anything to many of the files until I've had our hosting provider change the ownership rights on these file/directories. If those ownership rights are set to anything else other than "nobody" the forum produces several errors and ceases to work properly. Just wondering why this is? Despite the headaches this has caused me so far, I am still liking the functionality the script provides us. I just wished it were easier to deal with as far as the backend stuff goes. Can anyone help me understand why the permissions are set as they are and if there is an easier way to edit/modify/replace the forum files?

Actually, if you've read the manual or played with various Admin control panel you would have seen a control panel labeled as "Lock/Unlock Forum's Files". This control panel allows you to 'unlock' forum files, which would assign the forum's files permissions enabling you to modify the files directly with shell or via console.
Changing the forum file's permission to your user name, while possible would require that the files would have 666 permissions and directories 777 permissions ALL the time, since the forum running as the webserver would need read/write access to those files & directories.
