Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.26-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Would it be possible to start FastCGI processes via spawn-fcgi and to run Lighttpd as another user than www-data (maybe user lighttpd)?
I think this improves security as FastCGI processes can no longer touch Lighttpd (and it's log files).
Greetings,
Olaf
