Aha, but you know that a Cobalt RaQ3i runs the admin webserver as root? The
server is compiled with the -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE option. Nice, huh? And by
the way, allthough the customer's websites have their own config file
stating httpd as their user, they use the same binary httpd file as the
admin-server. Even nicer, huh?

Just some thoughts...
