Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually seen suexec mentioned, but on looking for a simple example of suexec in action I could only find ones referring to CGI scripts. I found the official document <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec.html> extraordinarily complicated, and it was not clear if this program can actually be applied to BackupPC, since it refers throughout to CGI. I guess I'll start by changing User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and then later see if I can make sense of suexec . -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
