what's your definition of a "secure install"? in my opinion, if you can password up what needs to be secure, and anyone who's not allowed in there doesn't have the password (among other standard security precautions), you have yourself a secure install.

are you talking about installing it securely on the system so as to say nothing is corrupted, etc.? if so, you may have to delve into your respective server's docs (i'm assuming apache since you're talking about suexec, although i'm not sure that's limited to apache) to find out other user ID systems for the server to run under

hope this helps.

UPDATEHere's a link to the Apache suEXEC docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/suexec.html. It should cover all that you need to know about suEXEC.

meh.
