I disagree. A correctly configured php interpreter (meaning:

doc_root = "/var/www"
user_dir = "public_html"

in /etc/php4/cgi/php.ini) will perform the same check -- in the
sensible way: The script is executed if it is found in $DOCUMENT_ROOT or
in $HOME/$user_dir, whereas suphp insists on having the script in
$DOCUMENT_ROOT. Therefore, the added check in the suphp executable only
stops UserDir from working, but doesn't add any security since php
already checks the location of the script. I'm in favor of recompiling
suphp with --disable-checkpath -- in fact, that's what I did on my
system.
