Yes..., it's a very sensible tightrope to walk, either usable and less 
secure, or not, I don't know how to accomplish both, maybe someone else does?

Yes, that might work.

I guess I could change the suexec2 stuff so it's more like the apache1 one as 
in:

suexec -V
 -D DOC_ROOT="/var/www"
 -D GID_MID=100
 -D HTTPD_USER="apache"
 -D LOG_EXEC="/var/log/httpd/suexec_log"
 -D SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
 -D UID_MID=100
 -D USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"

It's very hard to comply to unknown issues since no one seems to care much 
for apache2. Maybe issues would start pouring in if an Mandrake employee took 
over my apache2 packages, or..., if Mandrake would employ me so it's more 
"official"..., I really don't know... I think you're the third or fourth 
person mentioning apache2 in this forum since I introduced it (and that's 
about 3 months ago!!!)...

Chears.
