[gollem] File Driver and multiple users

Hello,

I'm building a Horde site and I'd like to give my users the capability
of checking their own home. They all have UNIX accounts and their
homes are mounted on localhost, so using an FTP server is too much
hassle in my opinion (and insecure). Therefore, I'm configuring gollem
to use the file driver. (Using verion gollem H3 1.0.1)

The problem comes that gollem will manipulate the files and
directories using the apache UID and GID; the only bit of information
I've found until now is this comment in the backends.php config file:

// NOTE: /exampledir/home and all subdirectories should be, for
// security reasons, owned by your web server user and mode 700 or you
// will need to use suexec or something else that can adjust the web
// server effective uid.

But there is no more information about how getting gollem to use
suexec to manipulate users' files. Any pointers to this?

Thank you very much,

Ciro.
