Bug#224035: apache: suexec compiled with uid>=1000, breaks internal systems
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Apache's suexec is compiled with min uid 1000 as of 1.3.27.0-2.
This is of course as it should be, however, there are existing
environments where it is difficult to change all user uids above 1000.
(Most of these have been active for more than 10 years when
system uids was below 100. :-)
Also some of my internal packages (not in Debian) depends on being
able to suexec and still have a system account.
Because of this, would you consider adding an extra suexec, compiled
with the old uidmin?
The select mechanism is already in place, it's just an extra question
that's needed.
