 Wait a sec.  What are the permissions on your cgiwrap files?  You must
 have at least the gid set to the webserver's gid... otherwise how the heck
 are you executing them?
 
 can_exec checks essentially the same thing a call to access() would.
 
 Unless your cgiwrap files have uid == webserver's uid, or gid ==
 webserver's gid, and the appropriate x bit set.  Or it has the o+x bit set
 ... then you can't execute the file to begin with.  Unless you're running
 the webserver as root.
