Real WEBROOT Protection

Even if Simple WEBROOT protection is enabled, other users can bypass it and still access all the files within your document root. It is not possible to have Real WEBROOT Protection without mod_phpsuexec because the same user that needs access to serve your static pages (nobody) is the same user that other users on the machine are allowed to execute arbitrary code using php scripts. Trying to restrict users using open_basedir might help a little, but it doesn't stop the user from executing arbirary code in another language (like perl) and obtaining total access to your web documents and scripts.
