In perl 5.8 the suid-perl stuff is included in the normal perl code. This means that it's not possible to both have a non-suid perl and suid-perl installed at the same time, since suid-perl is a symlink to perl which then has to be suid. Since we want to have a non-suid perl available, we decided to not build perl as suid. For web applications you probably can do with the suexec feature of apache. The easiest way is to set up a separate user for openwebmail, and place the cgis in /home/users/openwebmain/public_html/cgi-bin/. A clever apache redirect is then all you need to move from: openwebmail.example.com/~openwebmail/ to plain openwebmail.example.com/ kind regards c -- Christian H.
