Hi all,

I have a couple of quick questions for the sserver savy out there....

- I have suexec and Frontpage playing nice together now, but I am not sure I
totaly understand the point of suexec. If a user uploads a file it will have
done so as his/her user/group, which means it would execute anyway....or am
I totally missing the point (FYI I loaded it just in case some finds a way
in NOT through a normal user name).

- I currently have everyones htdocs in thier own dir
/var/www/htdocs/username
and am considering puttting everyones mail there too, So I can better
control disk usages. Any idea how to get sendmail / qpopper to use something
like /var/www/htdocs/$username$/mail  ???

Thanks for any thoughts!,


-Grant
