For instance, if httpd runs at "nobody", the home directory might be set to something unusual like / (see the /etc/passwd file). In this case a copy of the .dodsrc would need to be in /, and the .dods_cache would need to be somewhere that nobody can write. Perhaps below the directory already being used for temp web files for MapServer. The dods cache location can be controlled with the CACHE_ROOT variable in the .dodsrc.
