-Description: user-provided CGI scripts invoked by userv
- This package contains ucgi, a userv service which allows CGI programs
- to be provided which do not run as the webserver user, but instead
- are owned by a particular other account.
- .
- Similar effects can be achieved with Apache's suexec; this package is
- for administrators who do not trust suexec and wish to defend the
- webserver from the CGI script providers, and vice versa, as much as
- possible. This is achieved by using userv to do the cross-account
- call, rather than a custom setuid helper.
- .
- The default configuration allows the webserver user to invoke users'
- CGI programs from each user's ~/public-cgi, but to allow external
- callers to do this, the webserver will also need to be configured.
