-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thank you -- that was the missing piece. Gentoo Linux' Apache ebuild delivers a configuration which includes: ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/]*)/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/$1/public_html/cgi-bin/$2 which was siphoning off references that would otherwise have matched the UserDir. It appears totally unnecessary given that the default configuration also includes: <Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin> Options +ExecCGI -Includes -Indexes SetHandler cgi-script </Directory> and commenting the ScriptAliasMatch was all I needed for suEXEC to trigger. - -- Mark H.
