Your indefero www user needs later write access to `usher.conf` and
`projects/`. There are two ways of setting this up:
* Make the usher user the web user, for example via Apache's `suexec`
* Use acls, like this:
* Make the usher user the web user, for example via Apache's `suexec`.
This is however a bit clumsy.
* Preferred: Use Access Control Lists (ACLs), like this:

chmod +a '_www allow read,write' usher.conf
chmod +a '_www allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit' projects/
chmod +a 'usher allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit' projects/
In each example's last line, `usher` is the user which is executing
the usher instance. **It is very important to add this line, otherwise
usher won't be able to read and write into the initial file system
setup IDF creates!**
5. Wrap a daemonizer around usher, for example supervise from daemontools
