Daniel, You're on the right track. I do realize the UID 501 and how to change that, I think my biggest two problems right now are: A) I don't know what's the UID/GID of Apache in Leopard. It used to be 70 in Panther and I don't know if it's changed or not. They eliminated NetInfo Manager so I don't even know how to find out. B) Even if I did find out, I don't know how to apply Apache's UID/GID to mounted share while mounting. I could possibly go in and manually give the folder the UID/GID using terminal. Is there a Terminal way of figuring out the UID/GID of something like admin, apache etcetera?
