| <title>suexec - Switch user before executing external programs</title> |
| |
| <summary> |
| <p><code>suexec</code> is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch |
| to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this, |
| it must run as <code>root</code>. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't |
| run as <code>root</code>, the <code>suexec</code> executable needs the |
| setuid bit set and must be owned by <code>root</code>. It should never be |
| writable for any other person than <code>root</code>.</p> |
| |
| <p>For further information about the concepts and the security model |
| of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (<a |
| href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/&httpd.docs;/suexec.html" |
| >http://httpd.apache.org/docs/&httpd.docs;/suexec.html</a>).</p> |
