As far as I know, this technique cannot be used to override the
standard CGI env variables, including REMOTE_USER. In fact, it is not
possible at all to override these variables, which is generally a good
thing.
Joshua.
Hmmm, it worked in 1.3 and I just checked a simple "SetEnv REMOTE_USER helloThere" in an Apache 2.0 and that is visible in the CGI script. I'll test what Brian proposed later on (an Apache 2.0 behind another 2.0 that acts as reverse proxy).
