Thank you.
No it isn't possible. Disabling site.py may cause a bunch of other issues as far as runtime environment being set up. The lack of access to /etc/passwd would cause other problems as well. A similar problem arises from case where a uid is not in /etc/passwd. What system are you using which doesn't allow access to /etc/passwd? Not having one would cause problems for a lot of UNIX command tools. The whole point of /etc/shadow coming about was to take passwords out of /etc/passwd so that access to /etc/passwd wasn't a problem. Go further and removing access to /etc/passwd seems a recipe for disaster. Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "modwsgi" group.
