The default solution, that should work straigh away consist in having a SetUID bit set on wwsympa.fcgi.
It just requires that you have suidperl installed (not the default on RedHat) on your system.

It is documented here : http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node9.html#SECTION00920000000000000000

Bad form to reply to my own mail, but in digging around I found that I'd  neglected the "FastCgiWrapper On" argument.  Once that was in place the server was being started with the user/group arguments, and I am now getting:

[2005-07-22 20:48:13]: uid: (sympa/sympa) gid: (sympa/sympa) cmd: wwsympa.fcgi
[2005-07-22 20:48:13]: cannot run as forbidden uid (77/wwsympa.fcgi)

in the suexec_log file.  Apparently the suexec code in Apache2 is placing a minimum uid and gid on the executable, 500 and 100 respectively.  This is annoying.

I'm starting to chase my tail here - what is the suggested solution to running the fcgi server as user sympa under Apache2?
