Not sure if suexec would work if you set it up that way
I've ~/public_html/cgi-bin
~/(httpd_user_content_t/(httpd_user_script_exec_t) and works just dandy
with suexec.
I'm not clear what you are saying here.
My SELinux contexts
-------------------
cd /var/pub/ftp
user directory
drwxr-xr-x healyp ftpgrp root:object_r:public_content_rw_t healyp
cd healyp
drwxr-xr-x healyp ftpgrp root:object_r:public_content_rw_t public_html
^^^^^^
cd public_html
drwxr-xr-x healyp ftpgrp root:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t cgi-bin
^^^
cd cgi-bin
-rwxr-xr-x healyp ftpgrp root:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t survey.cgi
^^^
Are you suggesting that ^^^ should be user instead of sys. Would that make a
difference.
