I hope I'm asking this in the right area... I've searched the apache docs with no luck so far... My server runs procmail as the mail delivery agent and ideally I would like to use procbuilder (http: //www.uvm.edu/opensource/?Page=procbuilder.html) as a frontend to allowusers to easily edit their own procmail rules over the web.This means that procbuilder needs to access the authenticated user's.procmailrc file in their home directory. Apache correctly won't run the cgi script as root and procmail completely ignores the .procmailrc file if it's not solely owned by the current user and only accessible by them - thus ruling out groups.Apart from setting up procbuilder for each user individually - is there away to set it up centrally and allow it to access the home directory for the currently authenticateduser? Many thanks,
Benjamin -How dfficult would it be to make a script in PHP or a cgi to sudo to root and run this single command, which would run procbuilder? I don't think you're going to find exactly what you're looking for with Apache.
