Well the alarm is not totally false, frontpage IS bogus as HELL, but there
is a way to circumvent the cretinous way this is set up.
You can set up all of your frontpage users as group web and set the users'
permissions as 715 , that is effect disallows other "web" users from
accessing other individuals accounts, while retaining "nobody" as your
main http daemon user. Then you can use apache's suexec wrapper to do the
suing for the frontpage extensions provided that you have httpd.conf set
up correctly i.e. with User and Group statements.
We know that this is a far from perfect solution but at least it
somwhat works on a production system.
