NOTE: All WIKI-related documents are stored in subdirectories of /www/apache2.2.3/htdocs/wiki/clondocs/. To access those areas group clonweb must be created locally, and all users who suppose to modify those documents must be in that group. To do so following line must be added to the /etc/group file (list of users could be changed of course):

clonweb:!!:9996:clonweb,clonwiki,nagios,mrtg,boiarino,sergpozd,braydo,nerses,marki

All subdirectories modes and ownership must be set as following:

chmod 775 <dirname>
