[cgiwrap-users] Get uid/gid from file-owner

[blinky <bl...@gm...>]

Hi.

I've already sent this mail to Piotr Klaban and he suggested me to send this
to the mailing-list... and here it is now :)

feature-request:
-----
I can't code C. If so I would do it on my own, but here is me suggestion:

Whats about adding a feature so cgiwrap gets the UID it should degrate
itself to from the uid of the file it executes? So there is no more need for
'username' in 'cgiwrap/username/filename.cgi'. Just 'cgiwrap/filename.cgi'.

This is how i'm doing it at the moment:

ScriptAlias /cgi-cgiwrap/ /usr/cgiwrap/

<virtualhost ...>
[..]
 Action                 cgi-wrapper /cgi-cgiwrap/cgiwrap/username/www
 AddHandler             cgi-wrapper .cgi
[..]
</virtualhost>

these two lines wouldn't be necessary if cgiwrap would get the uid it should
degrade itself to from the uid of the file-owner (and maybe the gid too).
