Re: [cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap On Non-User Directories

[Jeremy C. <cg...@jd...>]

Who maintains said packages?  If a public distribution (e.g. RedHat or
someone else), I'd recommend mailing the package owner and asking them
to consider making builds for owner, force, and paranoid all separately.
The fact someone picked paranoid as the default is truly bizarre.  (I
maintain the FreeBSD port for suPHP, and I specifically default to
owner, for that exact reason).

Of course, this is one of the problems with binary-only packages, and
why building from source gives a person a lot more flexibility.  :-)
