Bug#653428: RFP: libapache2-mod-ruid2 -- Apache2 module to run all httpd process under the owner permissions.



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : libapache2-mod-ruid2
  Version         : 0.9.4
  Upstream Author : Kees Monshouwer
* URL             : http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-ruid/
* License         : Apache License V2.0
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Apache2 module to run all httpd process under the owner permissions.

With this module, all httpd process run under user's access right, not nobody or apache.
mod_ruid2 is similar to mod_suid2, but has better performance than mod_suid2 because it
doesn`t need to kill httpd children after one request. It makes use of kernel capabilites
and after receiving a new request suids again. If you want to run apache modules, i.e.
WebDAV, PHP, and so on under user's right, this module is useful. Could be a suphp
alternative.
