Keven,
Good for you...I've been sitting here for a week now thinking that was the
only way I was going to get this issue straight, but havn't had the energy
to do it yet.

Good luck solving your problem, whatever it is!

Best Wishes!
Mike Olds www.buddhadust.org

Lucky for me that suexec shows as being disabled.  I did after all compile
my own version of Apache, which is as follows:

Apache/1.3.27  PHP/4.3.0  mod_perl/1.27  mod_ssl/2.8.12  OpenSSL/0.9.7

All the above was compiled from their sources, no Debian packages here! ;)
Mainly due to the major bugs in OpenSSL that were reported, so I have the
latest version and the fact that the Debian packages are way behind on the
current versions anyway.

Regards,

Kevin
