Netsaint

Ok here goes, cause i guess i am going to be one of those that will struggle.
i downloaded and installed NEAT4.9 because at 1st glance it looked like it
would make administration easier. i can pull up the web interface and edit
the host.cfg, which BTW i couldnt do by using the httpd default group and
chmod g+w host.cfg as suggested in the README.txt for NEAT. the problem now
is when i try to verify and restart netsaint using the NEAT web interface i
get this error msg:

ERROR - userid apacheuser (this is not the real default httpd user) cannot run
/usr/local/netsaint/bin/netsaint to verify your config. This is probably your
httpd userid. Fix this

i am not sure why it is using this apache user, it is not entered in the
netsaint.cfg file. any ideas?
