yuck...need help with suEXEC.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I started coding in my proposed fix to suEXEC this morning...and I had a
nasty realization.
I have machine with multiple VHosts...each with their own UID/GID...*BUT*
what if I had a different UserDir for each. That means that I have
multiple possiblities as to what ~userdir will translate.
If I have hosts and userdirs of:
www.bcc.louisville.edu www
www-test.bcc.louisville.edu www-test
ftp.bcc.louisville.edu ftp
radbio.bcc.louisville.edu radbio
Suddenly the ~userdir issue becomes *MUCH* more complex.
The only fix I think of would be to have a directory *above* all of these
directories which would be considered the beginning of userdir webspace.
For example, what if I had:
www.bcc.louisville.edu www/www
www-test.bcc.louisville.edu www/www-test
ftp.bcc.louisville.edu www/ftp
radbio.bcc.louisville.edu www/radbio
Is there anything in the UserDir code that would prevent such a
translation to a subdirectory? If not, we should patch this as well...
