Would it be possible to put this file in a different directory (or do away 
with the temporary file)? This requirement would mean that the user running 
the webserver (or in your example any member of the group 'nobody') would be 
able to delete all hobbit config files (unless they are set to be sticky), 
which is not suitable for some environments/requirements etc.
