Apache System User

Hello,

Can someone explain where in the installation process the http user is created?

This is in the PKGBUILD:

# set default user
  sed -e 's#User daemon#User http#' \
      -e 's#Group daemon#Group http#' \
      -i docs/conf/httpd.conf.in

but I can't see where the http user is created.

Thanks.

Re: Apache System User

It's provided by the filesystem package via systemd sysusers:
