[freeside] REMOTE_USER problem still...

[ivan]

Virtual hosts cannot have a different username/group than the server
itself.

The preferred method is to run a separate iteration of Apache, with
mod_perl, as the Freeside user. 

suExec and setuid are usable alternatives.

See htdocs/docs/install.html.
