in thread Can the user a script runs as be changed?

The original author didn't specify whether it was running on a web server or not - the instance of a CGI script hadn't occurred to me actually. Yes, CGI scripts shouldn't be run suid root.

Perhaps the author could clarify?

    Ah, very good point. Don't know why I thought it was a CGI question having just re-read it (can you change root node ins SOPW - I could have sworn it originally said CGI/nobody/apache somewhere). I like jacques answer the best so far ;-)
