Suexec is the basic apache way of running .cgi programs (files found in
ScriptAlias folders). It does something like the cgiwrapper used by RaQ.
Suexec will not be used in the virtual sites, because the RaQ GUI makes an
entry in the appache configuration files to make sure .cgi files are run by
cgiwrapper. But if you create a ScriptAlias on your webserver, it will (I
guess) use suexec.
Both programs, suexec and cgiwrapper, are started by the webserver when a
cgi-script is requested. They do some checks and then change identity to the
owner of the cgi-script before starting it.
