argus install on centos

[Scott Hiemstra]

I happen to run Argus as root on this particular system so yours may be 
different depending on what you have going on.  This is a very 
restricted box so I honestly don't worry about running it as root.  This 
box is running CentOS 5.8 x86_64.  Argus lives in /var/argus and 
arguscgi lives in the main Apache cgi-bin.

I put these in my httpd.conf but I don't remember if the installer 
created the www directory or not:
Alias /img/ /var/argus/www/img/
Alias /sound/ /var/argus/www/sound/
Alias /css/ /var/argus/www/css/
Alias /js/ /var/argus/www/js/

Permisions of /var/argus:
drwxrwxrwx 11 root   root    4096 Oct 31 16:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root   root    4096 Jan 20  2012 ..

drwxrwxrwx  2 root   root    4096 Apr 11  2011 perl
drwxr-xr-x 28 root   root    4096 Apr 11  2011 stats
-rw-r--r--  1 root   root     106 Apr 12  2011 users
-rw-r--r--  1 root   root     144 Apr 11  2011 users.example
drwxr-xr-x  6 root   root    4096 Apr 12  2011 www

Hope that helps,
Scott
