af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd <p><code>suexec</code> is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch
af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this,
af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd it must run as <code>root</code>. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't
af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd run as <code>root</code>, the <code>suexec</code> executable needs the
af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd setuid bit set and must be owned by <code>root</code>. It should never be
af687ddbab64fce492e06d194acd60da69b59608nd writable for any other person than <code>root</code>.</p>
