mod_become
Hi,
Has anyone tried this apache module? If it really works and has no known bugs, then this could be a VERY USEFULL module for webhost owners.
Here's a little description:
This module enables the web server to take on the access rights of a user & group, so that ~users can make available files to the web without having to make them readable by the world on the local file system. This can be useful for sites with a large number of users who want to apply file access controls among themselves. This module can also be applied to virtual hosts, directories, and locations.

Suexec is only used for CGI.
Shouldn't a better description of mod_become be:
"This module enables the web server to take on the access rights of a user & group, so that ~users can make available files to the web without having to make them readable by the the user that the web server runs as on the local file system."-Mark Adams
