Scott replied:

Correct: He's talking about being being a web hosting service
that uses mchttpd as the main HTTP server. If all you're doing
is running CGI applications, his concerns don't apply to your
situation.

So,  we are NOT installing mchttpd on our ISP web hosting machine in our
cgi-bin. We just installed the mc engine. So, back to a "not to worry"
state.
