This is achieved by using userv to do the cross-account # call, rather than a custom setuid helper. # # This default configuration allows the webserver user to invoke # users' CGI programs from each user's ~/public-cgi, but to allow # external http clients to do this, the webserver will also need to be # configured. if ( grep service-user-shell /etc/shells & glob calling-user www-data ) reset no-suppress-args no-set-environment execute /usr/local/lib/userv/cgi/target public-cgi fi
