Application Servers Installation and Users

Hi,

When most of the server applications get installed, they create their own user. I believe this is to not use the "root" account. For example, Apache when installed creates a user called "apache". And the directories which it uses are all owned by this user. This seems to be the "professional" way of installing applications.

Is there any terminology for this kind of deployment? If I have to install a similar kind of server application, what are the steps that I need to take care? Has anyone written a blog post explaining these things? Or is there any standard guidelines published somewhere?

Thanks!
