[Linux-disciples] Running blosxom for multiple users

[Stephen R Laniel]

I initially posed this question to Adam, and he -- quite rightly --
suggested that I throw it over to the full Tree Of Disciples (so to
speak).

I've been running blosxom, a blog package that traditionally runs out of
one copy in /usr/lib/cgi-bin. Now I've been trying to get it working for
multiple users, and it seems like the easiest way is to create a separate
copy in each user's public_html directory. Per Adam's earlier suggestion,
I've been running my own copy of blosxom setuid/setgid, with a special
user blog:blog. Extending this to multiple users is a headache: I've
created a user lizblog:lizblog for my user Liz, jonblog:jonblog for Jon,
etc.

Adam suggests using Apache suExec, about which I know nothing; I'll
investigate that. Can anyone suggest another scalable solution to
multi-user blosxom permissions that scales well with the number of users?

  it added to her deep-seated feelings of shame.''
