I think we must be at cross-purposes. I thought you were talking about individual <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> sections. That would have been a wonderful thing. Feasible too, perhaps. The Apache parent ("root"), could prefork its children, one for each <VirtualHost></VirtualHost> running as its own user (to which all requests for that vhost are handled).
It would certainly take care of a whole lot of security issues. - Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MySQL List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 11:07 PM Subject: RE: Hiding the password > Check out the explination of chroot from the following url.. > > http://www.tcu-inc.com/Articles/23/chroot.html > > This is an article about doing more than an apache solution but it > explains chroot.
