Notes re the thttpd emerge -------------------------- By default, thttpd wants to enable its "makeweb" feature, in which a user foo can run makeweb and have it create a $WEBDIR/foo/ directory. This may not be desired by all sysadmins, and also requires that the group used (makeweb is setgid, and $WEBDIR is writable by that group) exist before thttpd is installed. Also, doing an einstall crashes unless "www" exists already in /etc/group, so it forces us to do the ebuild install steps manually. This ebuild therefore does not enable this feature. If desired, then: # groupadd www # chgrp www /usr/sbin/makeweb /var/www # chmod 2755 /usr/sbin/makeweb # chmod 775 /var/www The cgi utilities provided by thttpd (phf, printenv, redirect, and ssi) are parked in /usr/lib/thttpd/cgi-src. For security reasons, they're not placed directly into the default web tree, leaving you to copy them in if you want them and understand what they do. Note that if you want to use them with thttpd's chroot feature, you may need to put much of glibc into your web tree. I'd consider using dietlibc, but there's no use flag for it, and you'd lose i18n.
