suexec

Iam looking for a way to run a script with different users. I dont want to hardcode the users in the config... and I found some information that it should be possible that the user goes to... lets say:

Code:

http://localhost/~user1/myscript.cgi

and the script gets executes as user 'user1'.

Does anybody know if that is possible? If not, do I have to make a new vhost config for every user?

Thanks a lot! Greets, Kodak

Security issues of running PHP scripts as the owner of the PHP file with suexec

I'm using suexec to ensure that PHP scripts (and other CGI/FastCGI apps) are run as the account holder associated with the relevant virtual host. This allows for securing each users' scripts from reading/writing by other users. However, it occurs to me that this opens up a different security hole… >>> More
