Nginx default user changed in RedHat/CentOS package nginx-1.16.1-1.el7

The latest Nginx rpm (nginx-1.16.1-1.el7) from EPEL for CentOS/Redhat is a fairly major update, from version 1.12 to 1.16, and includes some very important fixes to address multiple CVEs. There is another small but critical change in the latest RPM that isn’t mentioned in the bug report. RedHat had configured nginx to run as user “apache” in past releases, but in the EPEL release on 19 October 2019, the configuration was changed to run as user “nginx”. If you ran “yum upgrade” recently (which you really need to do on a regular basis) on any system with nginx installed, you probably have a system that is affected.
