Okay.. Either I'm stupid, or I expect entirely 
way to much from Microsoft..  Here's the scoop.  
Setting up a new webserver, plan on moving all 
the old virtuals over to it.  We're using NIS for 
user authentication.

/v/website1   owned by  owner1.patron
/v/website2   owned by  owner2.patron
... etc.

So when they connect & login using FTP, 
everything works fine..  

Configured apache with:
  --enable-suexec 
  --suexec-caller=root 
  --suexec-gidmin=20 
  --fpexec-caller=root 
  --fpexec-logfile=/var/log/fpexec.log 
  --fpexec-gidmin=20 
  --fpexec-user=nobody 
  --fpexec-group=nogroup
  ...

chown'd -R nobody.nogroup /usr/local/frontpage

1st problem is, if /v/website1 isn't chowned 
nobody.nogroup, Frontpage doesn't and suEXEC 
don't work for some reason.. If it is chown'd 
nobody.nogroup then my users can't write to their 
directories while FTP'd in, and CGI scripts don't 
work...

Am I missing the point, or what?  I need my users 
to be able to get into their servers via FTP -or- 
Frontpage, and my Apache needs to be able to 
access users home directories for websites as 
well (hence running it as root w/suEXEC).

HELP!  Please CC this to 'robert@id.net', I'm 
desperate and stuck in the middle of this 
upgrade...
