Hi Chris,
You didn't tell us how you've managed the users/groups. Usually this is
tracked in /var/log/secure like so:
Mar 2 09:57:42 dhcp-157 groupadd[23761]: group added to /etc/group:
name=apache, GID=48
Mar 2 09:57:42 dhcp-157 groupadd[23761]: group added to /etc/gshadow:
name=apache
Mar 2 09:57:42 dhcp-157 groupadd[23761]: new group: name=apache, GID=48
Mar 2 09:57:42 dhcp-157 useradd[23769]: new user: name=apache, UID=48,
GID=48, home=/usr/share/httpd, shell=/sbin/nologin
