+ root", which allows it to run with the full privileges of the
+ root user. If this option is used, the <code>suexec</code>
+ binary will instead be installed with only the setuid/setgid
+ "capability" bits set, which is the subset of full root
+ priviliges required for suexec operation. Note that
+ the <code>suexec</code> binary may not be able to write to a log
+ file in this mode; it is recommended that the
+ <code>--with-suexec-syslog --without-suexec-logfile</code>
+ options are used in conjunction with this mode, so that syslog
+ logging is used instead.</dd>
+
<dt><code>--with-suexec-bin=<em>PATH</em></code></dt>

"<code>suexec_log</code>" and located in your standard logfile
directory (<code>--logfiledir</code>).</dd>

+
+ <dd>If defined, suexec will log notices and errors to syslog
+ instead of a logfile. This option must be combined
+ with <code>--without-suexec-logfile</code>.</dd>
