Package: cgiwrap
Version: 3.5-3
I was initially interested in installing cgiwrap so anyone on the server could
use cgi scripts that ran as themselves, so I was halfway expecting a
question/answer dialog that would do things like make global settings. I note
that the web page docs, altho being perhaps one or two versions out of step,
nevertheless provided a link to the author's webpage, where a full explanation
of the allow/deny scripts were quickly found. They said, in part (ref:
"Access Control Files (allow/deny)"):
(quote)
Access Control Logic
Neither file exists - Configuration Error
User in both files - Access Denied
Allow exists and user not in file - Access Denied
Deny exists and user in file - Access Denied
Otherwise - Access Allowed
(unquote)
One configuration I found useful, and would be potentially useful to everyone,
is an existing but empty deny and nonexistant allow, which would allow access
to anyone.
Of course, this is not the only useful possibility, and so it would be nice if
the user could choose among (a subset of) all non-config-error permutations
of these files, and once chosen, the maintainer script should place in
/usr/doc/cgiwrap a file containing the configuration and an explanitory
paragraph describing the implications of that configuration and how to put
individual users into the existing files and what that would mean.

against it.

this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
