NAME
       suexec2 - Switch user before executing external programs

SYNOPSIS
       suexec2 -V


SUMMARY
       suexec2	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 suexec2
       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   suexec2   please	refer	 to    the    suexec2	 documentation
       (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec2.html).

OPTIONS
       -V     If  you  are  root,  this option displays the compile options of
	      suexec2. For security  reasons  all  configuration  options  are
	      changeable only at compile time.
