Argh. I've looked at the perl, it's easy enough to re-enable, of course
even with a per-user restriction (remember, this cgi runs as the user,
any file they would be able to read by hacking the script, they could
read using their shell), I'm sure there's security concerns. (I'm mildly
curious to these myself, but...)
Of course, there's a silver lining (and a backdoor) to everything, and I
think I've found it. Make anlgform.html alngform.shtml and have it run a
simple script that populates a SELECT MULTIPLE box with all the
logfilenames.
I shall put such a script to the list when I get done with it.
