 Our approach uses symlinks instead. It is designed to work with suexec, in which the PHP process running runs with the privileges of the user who owns the file.
 
-Using our approach, every member has their own web directory, which they control. The web directory contains symlinks to all the top level directories in Drupal core (`includes`, `misc`, etc.) except for the files and sites directories - these are real directories under the control of the user. In addition, each top level file (`index.php`, `cron.php`, etc) is symlinked in the user's web directory, but with the name `index.drupal.php`, `cron.drupal.php`, etc. Finally, every top level file is created and owned by the user with the original Drupal name (`index.php`, `cron.php`) and with a simple one line of php code which includes the Drupal symlink. For example, `index.php` contains:
-{{{
-require_once('index.drupal.php');
-}}}
