Securing Wordpress on Apache

Question

I've just set up a Wordpress blog on Slicehost using Ubuntu Jaunty and Apache. I would like to have a clear overview how to fully secure it. I've read plenty articles on the net but none answers my questions:

• do I need to create a special user/user group for running wordpress?
• if yes how I configure Apache, sftp and wordpress files to work seamlessly together.

Currently I'm using a superuser to manage my VPS. I would like to have another user who manages only Wordpress.

Thanks a lot!

You're better off asking on SuperUser, where your question already has some answers: https://serverfault.com/search?q=apache+wordpress
