Differences in ownership of public_html on two servers

Hi, I have two servers, both running CENTOS 6.10 cPanel v80.0.18. While looking for something else, I just noticed that on one server, all /*/public_html directories are owned by user:nobody while on the other server, they are all owned by user:user. Permissions are 750 on both servers, both seem to be serving sites fine. Until recently, both servers were running apache/php-fpm. I recently switched one to LiteSpeed. The server with user:nobody ownerships has been provisioned longer. It is also the one running LiteSpeed. Any idea why these servers would be different in this regard? I'm used to user:nobody being correct. It surprised me to see the other server set to user:user on public_html dirs.

  Hi. Looks like you are running the "other" server with Mod_Ruid2. Check in EA4 >> Apache Modules. Probably a good time to switch to: EasyApache 4 and mod_lsapi | cPanel Blog BR, Trifo.
