 * I installed the WordPress Plugin Manager and Spam Karma, and when I was trying
   to remove them manually, I could not. I eventually found out that they were listed
   as httpd:httpd, and were not deletable…
    How do I get around this?

 * It is because you’re running it under mod_php, which reads and writes as the 
   web server’s user:group (in your case httpd:httpd), so files uploaded via mod_php
   can’t be deleted by FTP or SFTP unless you have superuser privs.
 * But just use php to delete the files either directly or with a php-based file
   manager.

 * Ah, thank you. That makes sense.
