NAME
       suexec - Switch user before executing external programs

SYNOPSIS
       suexec -V


SUMMARY
       suexec  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 root. Since the HTTP daemon
       normally doesn't run as root, the suexec executable  needs
       the  setuid  bit	 set and must be owned by root. It should
       never be writable for any other person than root.

       For further information about the  concepts  and	 and  the
       security	 model of suexec please refer to the suexec docu-
       mentation  (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/suexec.html).

OPTIONS
	      -V     If	 you  are  root, this option displays the
		     compile options of suexec. For security rea-
		     sons all configuration options are changable
		     only at compile time.
