Why?  Because I am a newbie and didn't know if I should or not.  Your
answer helps out a lot.

Thanks 
Jay

It probably won't matter, as one should not be able to login with the
apache ID 
because the shell is set to /sbin/nologin in /etc/passwd.  Why do you
want to 
change the PW?  Normally, there is no password set for system IDs like
this one, 
and I don't think it's really necessary since it doesn't have a workable
shell.
