[GRLUG] update change ownership/permissions?

[Eric Beversluis]

Right. My question is how it might have gotten changed, since up to,
like today, I was able to write to it as an ordinary user. So let me ask
the question again: Could an automatic update have gone in and changed
the ownership of /var/www/html to root from me or from apache? Do
updates to that kind of thing?
