<h2>Original home</h2>

<p style='padding-left: 1em;'>
Source based on spawn-fcgi from <a href="http://www.lighttpd.net/">lighttpd</a>,
rewritten for external packaging and some extra features:
<ul>
	<li>chown/chmod the unix-domain socket</li>
	<li>use /etc/security/limits.conf for limits</li>
	<li>use glib2</li>
</ul>
</p>

<p style='padding-left: 1em;'>
Includes modified code from the <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/">Linux-PAM</a> project
for the limits.
</p>

<h2>Description</h2>
<p style='padding-left: 1em;'>
