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