Hi Sebastien,

I installed my ePrints repository with the apache user and if I stat my
files I see the ownmer and group apache : apache for all my files (pdf,
etc.). I'm really wondering what happened and how to fix this.  Our
repository has been up for about 2 years and we never had this kind of problem.

Thank you for your help!
