Hmm. You want to have people run a web browser as root and run cgi scripts with root privilage. Please don't make this a default. I can't think of any way to make this secure. It would be better to hack together some kind of front end, or hack lynx into some kind of dedicated engine. The possibilities for accidents are too great if you run the scripts directly from lynx. -- _______ _____ / \ / ___/ Michael Stone, Sysadmin, ITRI / / / /_\__\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /__/__/__//____/ PGP: finger or email with "Subject: get pgp key" -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
