How did you manage to get the extensions installed. Did you use the
install script or did you do it manually? The install script seg faults
when I run it.

From what I understand the frontpage module that you build into Apache
creates a random key that gets passed to the suid program. This allows
the suid program to check that it got called by apache and not by
some user trying something bad. I guess it probably has something to do
with that, maybe the key is passed in that file.
