Joshua, Let me pass this pseudo logic by you.
* Create a dedicated user (say suapache:suapache/no shell/no homedir). * Add that user to the sudo privileges file (with access the dedicated list of apps they can execute with nopass set and only localhost as access). * Create another instance of Apache running on a different port running with the new user (suapache) on 127.0.0.1. >From reading the sudoers sample page this seems to fit what I want to do. Does this logic seem appropriate? My next question about the Apache instance. I can either do one of two things, create a completely separate instance of apache from source or use the existing runtime with a separate configuration file. I am familiar with the first (as we have run two separate instances before) but I don't have any experience running two instances with distinct configuration files. Which would you suggest?
