Apache has the "suexec" program to do this. If suexec is in the path when apache starts up, then the httpd will run as user when in the user's home directory. This has advantages and disadvantages, but it is easily done. Normally apache will run as wwwrun/nogroup or nobody/nogroup, with suexec, apache will run as user/users when in users public_html. You can then run scripts at mode 700. It usually is best to set aside a dedicated user just for some cgi-program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
