Hello All,I'm unclear as to how one part of suEXEC works. Specifically, I'm refering to the documentation located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/suexec.html#usage:
*User directories:*The suEXEC wrapper can also be used to execute CGI programs as the user to which the request is being directed. This is accomplished by using the "*|~|*" character prefixing the user ID for whom execution is desired. The only requirement needed for this feature to work is for CGI execution to be enabled for the user and that the script must meet the scrutiny of the security checks <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/suexec.html#model> above.
After reading the security checks list it seems somewhat clear that only the apache (perhaps the "nobody" user, as that's how I've set mine) user can execute cgi or PHP code. I want users to be able to authenticate and then be able to:
a. change passwords b. turn off/on vacation via /usr/local/bin/vacationc. turn off/on spam filtering via adding/removing a pre-written .mailfilter file into/out of the user's home directory
Is this possible via the User directories usage description above or is there another way or no way using Apache?
Thanks to any and all who may be of assistance.
