There's no way to do it through a simple configuration, as far as I know. mod_mono passes off requests to the mod-mono-server process, so the user switching would have to be done in mod-mono-server, not in Apache. mod-mono-server runs as the apache (or equivalent) user, so the password would have to be passed into mod-mono-server (I'm not sure if that happens now with HTTP auth) and different privileges could I think only be achieved by shelling 'su'. -- - Josh Tauberer http://razor.occams.info "Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation!
