suexec - switch user for Apache CGI execution
suexec -V
suexec is the "wrapper" support program for the suexec behaviour for the
Apache httpd(8) server. It is run from within the server automatically to
switch the user when an external program has to be run under a different
user.
The options are as follows:
-V Display the list of compile-time settings used when suexec was
built. No other action is taken.
Because this program is only used internally by httpd(8), there are no
other ways to directly invoke suexec.
In order to work correctly, the suexec binary should be owned by "root"
and have the SETUID execution bit set. OpenBSD currently does not install
suexec with the SETUID bit set, so a change of file mode is necessary to
enable it:
# chmod u+s /usr/sbin/suexec
httpd(8)
