problem with Apache 1.3.31 + mod_frontpage

This isn't the exact set of errors we had, but I'm guessing the problem 
is the same. Your running Apache as the user www, and more specifically, 
as a user with a UID < 1000. Evidently, it's been hardcoded into the FP 
binaries that the UID must be greater than 1000.

Set the apache/frontpage user so that the UID > 1000 and everything 
should work (don't forget to reset the permissions on the related 
directorys)
