It also only appears to be a problem only on the RaQ2, not the original RaQ. > I don't completely understand all of their changes, but they have added > a bunch of code to how cgiwrap detects what user to run stuff as. (And > got rid of cgiwrapd, one of the more useful debugging tools.) cgiwrapd is still there, it just isn't directly obvious how to use it. If you normally call your script as http://www.site1.com/test.cgi you can call it as http://www.site1.com/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrapd/test.cgi to run it under cgiwrapd. Basically they ScriptAlias "cgiwrapDir" to the directory where cgiwrap is installed. Cobalt has an updated package available on their FTP site (I haven't received anything official about it, but I found it, installed it, and tested it). It appears to fix all of the bugs I found, and changes the behavior some. Instead of running scripts in the site's /web directory as user "nobody" and the site's group, it runs them as the owner of the script, _if_ that user is a member of the site's admin group. I like that better than running all site CGIs as "nobody". -- Chris Adams <cmadamsat_private> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Information Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
