setuid

[Jay]

Hi all. I'm quite sure this is a common topic, but the archive did not
provide a 'good' solution for this.

I am getting the error about not executing the scripts setuid, and I have
confirmed -- the CGI's are not running as the freeside user. However, my
system (Slackware Linux 3.5, Kernel 2.0.35) should support secure setuid
scripts.

I don't want to change all of the CGI's to run as 'nobody' (the Apache
user) -- that just doesn't seem right. :) As well, I don't want to disable
the setuid stuff in the kernel, because I have other setuid scripts that
need to be run. 

Does anyone have any ideas/pointers for getting this to work (the way it
is 'supposed' to)? Thanks. BTW -- Ivan, good job on the FreeSide system. I
have seen it in action before, and played with the demo -- an all-around
killer app. ...now if it will only work for me. :)
