This is a variation on the previous questions in this
branch. I have a shell on the server's host.
My HN forum must be reliable
and secure.
I have free use of a server, but very
limited support from
its administrator. If I can figure out how to do it, I can
do it. If I am successful, my HN forums will get big and
a lot of people will depend on them. Therefore it's not
practical to have HN run with the web server's uid;
it must run as me. The only way I know to do that is to
pass each HN call through a ``wrapper'' program that's
installed (by me) with mode 4755, i.e. setuid on.
alternatives
-
I wrote a trivial C wrapper that passes all its args through.
I could install it with hard links (they take less space than
symlinks) and make it call different scripts according to
what name it's called.
-
I found
CGIWrap but it looks like a lot of work to
adapt.
Has anyone already done this job? I hate to re-invent.
TIA, as they say.

Has anyone installed HN with CGIWrap ?
