<title>suexec - Switch user before executing external programs</title>
<summary>
<p><code>suexec</code> is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch
to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this,
it must run as <code>root</code>. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't
run as <code>root</code>, the <code>suexec</code> executable needs the
setuid bit set and must be owned by <code>root</code>. It should never be
writable for any other person than <code>root</code>.</p>
<p>For further information about the concepts and and the security model
of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (<a
href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/suexec.html"
>http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/suexec.html</a>).</p>
