In order to achieve this, it must run as \fBroot\fR\&. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't run as \fBroot\fR, the \fBsuexec\fR executable needs the setuid bit set and must be owned by \fBroot\fR\&. It should never be writable for any other person than \fBroot\fR\&. + +.PP +For further information about the concepts and the security model of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (http://httpd\&.apache\&.org/docs/2\&.4/suexec\&.html)\&. + + +.SH "OPTIONS" + + +.TP +\fB-V\fR +If you are \fBroot\fR, this option displays the compile options of \fBsuexec\fR\&.
