Good grief... don't give users access to put CGI scripts on the system. That's a security headache waiting to happen. If you really want to do it, you'll need to modify the apache configs. There's no way we would have something so dangerous in there by default. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
