(est Man hours would be useful too) I'm not familiar with apache internals, so I can't say but MPM's are written in modular way so it does not need to rewrite whole apache. You would have to fix/rewrite only one MPM module.
> * What are the benefits? Joris replied about that, so I only add few things... - from what I know no one from apache team is working on fixing perchild (no idea why) - some guy started writting new MPM working in similar way as perchild - it's called metux MPM ( http://www.metux.de/mpm/en/?patpage=index, http://www.sannes.org/metuxmpm/). Unfortunately this project seems to be dead (or almost dead), too. - with perchild you will have each virtual host running under UID/GID specified in config file so you will have secure php, cgi, mod_perl, mod_python, mod_whatever (currently there are ways to get php and cgi (and only these) working under specified UID/GID). Docs about perchild http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/perchild.html Right now running apache and having multiple virtual hosts for multiple clients is not secure. Each client can look into others *.php, *.inc files, read for example database passwords from these files etc. > Thanks and best wishes, > Shri -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz CS at FoE, Wroclaw University of Technology arekm.pld-linux.org, 1024/3DB19BBD, JID: arekm.jabber.org, PLD/Linux
