How the script is executed is something to consider. When you run Apache and you call a cgi script, that script is run AS a user, usually the user "www." So if you want to be able to write a file to a directory that the "www" user does not have write privileges in, you're outta luck.
However, it is possible to have a metacard script execute using the permissions of the person who OWNS the script itself. So if admin owned the script, you could set the permissions like: chmod 755 mymetacardscript.mt And then set it to run as if "admin" was running it like this: chmod a+s my metacardscript.mt The same thing works if root owns the file, by the way. However I think running cgi scripts AS root is something that old-time UNIX veterans would cough up a lung over. :) Better to have a designated user name own the script and make sure that user has permissions to do whatever you want. -- :) Richard MacLemale Network Administrator J.
