Hi In O'Reilly Practical mod_perl Appendix C Under C.1. Users Sharing a Single Web Server it states:
mod_perl 2.0 improves the situation, since it allows a pool of Perl interpreters to be dedicated to a single virtual host. It is possible to set the UIDs and GIDs of these interpreters to be those of the user for which the virtual host is configured, so users can operate within their own protected spaces and are unable to interfere with other users. Or is this not the case anymore? Shane De Jager wrote: > Hi > > I am in the process of moving to mod perl from CGI. Under modCGI i could set > UIDs and GID with suExec.

Not at the moment, Shane. http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Is_it_possible_to_run_mod_perl_enabled_Apache_as_suExec_ This may change in the future if perchild or metux MPM will be released. This will allow to have groups of processes/threads running under a given uid/gid, which may or may not suit your needs (e.g. it probably won't scale well if you have hundreds of users you want to 'suexec' to). -- Shane De Jager Technical Developer INTERGAGE High-performance, updateable Web sites Switchboard +44(0)845 456 1022 Direct Dial +44(0)1202 688 219 == www.intergage.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are you aware of our referral scheme?
