     <p><code>suexec</code> is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch
 
26
     to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this,
 
27
     it must run as <code>root</code>. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't
 
28
     run as <code>root</code>, the <code>suexec</code> executable needs the
 
29
     setuid bit set and must be owned by <code>root</code>. It should never be
 
30
     writable for any other person than <code>root</code>.</p>
