+
+
+.SH "SUMMARY"
+
+.PP
+\fBsuexec\fR 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 \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\&. For security reasons all configuration options are changeable only at compile time\&.
