I would consider it highly unlikely that any installation of the scep interface will ever place the only two (even identical) cgi-bins scep and pkiclient.exe in different directories...but who am I to talk about human nature...

Hard links could not cross partitions in some versions of Unix so a simple copy sounds better.

Hi!
My installation: Fedora 1 (includes apache httpd version 2.0.48), Openca-0.9.2-RC3, online/offline installed on one server in different directories.
Playing around with the SCEP interface I got the following error message in the httpd-error log:
Thu Mar 11 [...] Symbolic link not allowed: .../cgi-bin/scep/pkiclient.exe
Replacing the softlink in the abovementioned directory by a hard link solved the problem for me.
"Symbolic link not allowed" is an errormessage from your Apache because the options FollowSymlinks or SymlinkMustMatchOwner (these are not the exact names) are not set to +. The default configuration of the most apaches forbids symlinks.
A question for package maintainers, does it be problem to use hard links? I think download.cer in the public interface has the same problem. LN_S is a default variable of autoconf. LN for hard links is not supported by autoconf. The other option would be a simple copy. Any arguments pro and cons for hard links vs. simple copy vs. symlinks?
