Subject: NCSA httpd 1.0a5

Well, my week is ruined.

NCSA httpd 1.0a5 is now released. It's a bug fix for 1.0a4.

When fixing a bug in the inetd code, I broke the standalone code which
changed the user id to the one dictated in the configuration file.

THE NET EFFECT OF THIS IS HTTPD IS ALWAYS RUNNING AS ROOT. THIS IS BAD.

If you downloaded 1.0a4, I have made a "bin" directory full of binaries so
that you can plug in the new binary. Included at the end of this message and
in that directory is a source patch for those of you compiling from source.

Obviously, I feel terrible about this unexcusable oversight, and I can only
ask you to bear with us until 1.0. If you have already upgraded to 1.0a4,
PLEASE APPLY THIS PATCH OR GET A NEW BINARY.

Begging your forgiveness
