[cgiwrap-users] Newbie question

[Spiro P. <sph...@no...>]

I have to run a CGI script as root (I know this is not good security-wise but 
unfortunately I have to) and I do this currently by setuiding the CGI binary 
to root (chown root & chmod 4755) with Apache running as nobody. I was 
wondering if using CGIwrap to run the CGI script as root is doable and if it 
would improve, to whatever extent, the security. I ask this because suEXEC 
(at least according to the documentation) doesn't 'like' running CGI scripts 
as root at all. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
