.SH NAME
suexec \- Switch user before executing external programs
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBsuexec\fR -\fBV\fR
.SH "SUMMARY"
.PP
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\&.
.PP
For further information about the concepts and and the security model of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (http://httpd\&.apache\&.org/docs/trunk/suexec\&.html)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
-V
If you are root, this option displays the compile options of suexec\&. For security reasons all configuration options are changeable only at compile time\&.
