[Mono-list] mod_mono running as apache user

[Jaroslaw Kowalski]

Here's my idea of running mod_mono with apache2:

1. Create group "aspnet"
2. Create user "aspnet" with default group "aspnet"
3. Edit /etc/group and add user "apache" to group "aspnet"
4. Run mod_mono_server.exe as "aspnet"
5. restart apache.

This guarantees that the permissions will be ok after reboot and
regardless of the order of spawning mod_mono_server and apache.

I use this configuration along with SysV init script, which can
start,stop,restart mod_mono_server independently of the "httpd".
