Slackware -- a Linux distribution
Apache -- a web server used by 60% of the site on the internet.

Cog
Cog is a themeable and modularised intranet homepage written in perl. The 
aim is to make almost every aspect configurable via the web interface to 
give the user the freedom of choice. Many users each with a separate 
configuration and password are supported. Applets such as search, todo, 
news and links are included along with several themes.

Demo: http://cog.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cog.pl

I stated in my post at the Slackware Forum, that after installing Cog I 
proceeded to examine my Apache log file and discovered that the file was 
world readable.  I also ask for other user to verify the default permission 
and one user posted verification while others email me directly.  Examining 
my logs is what showed the security problem, not Cog itself.

As for this list being Windows specific, I see no mention of that in the 
description at topica.

In your message you consistently refer to yourself as I or we, as if you 
are speaking for the whole group.  You flamed Richard off the list and many 
others on Usenet.  A search shows you make a habit of flaming other and 
seem to enjoy this game of cat and mouse.  Beware of what you post on 
usenet for it can be traced and even reveal personal information and even 
your sexual orientation.

I have nothing further to say in the matter.  Argue with yourself if you 
want...
