| I have a UNIX box and want each user to see their own list of spooled
printed jobs. I'm happy with default behavior of Apache to dynamically
generate a directory listing, but I want each user to be restricted to
only seeing that user's own directory, not others.
I'm hoping that there is some nifty feature that would either rewrite
root (/) to be that user's own directory, forcing them to login to
access. Were I to have to create a cgi script, I'd still like to
leverage the directory listing feature, but don't feel sure I know how
to. It seems like the rewrite module should be able to access the
RemoteUser parameter, once user has logged in, but I'm very unsure how
to structure this little null application.
Ideally, I'd like apache to simply recognize any valid user on the UNIX
system, instead of Apache needing to have its own database of
users/groups. I see that Version 2.2 there is some sort of new feature
to leverage the underlying operating system's file permissions for
driving the authentication of the Apache server. In the past, my
colleague and I got involved in constantly modifying parts of the
configuration file for Apache, which of course required us to restart
the server. This seems quite clumsy to me and I hope there is a better
way to dynamically adjust to changing conditions in the underlying
operating system.
I'm hoping the advice is as obvious as I think it should be. Apologies
for my denseness in this regard and many thanks to anyone willing to
give me some pointers and/or advice.
