Samba shares and Web accessible documentes, whether or not they are on an intranet, are usually two different things. You may be having ownership problems. httpd usually runs as nobody.nobody, and if the directories in your shares area do not have world R-X permissions, you may not be able to see them from a browser. You might not want people to see them either, so be careful. >2.

Oh goody, now users out there can put things in your cgi-bin directory and you have taken a giant step backwards from a security point of view. I certainly hope they cannot write to that directory. Not being able to read from it as well is good from a security point of view. If they could read your cgi scripts they could find the security holes all that much faster. >Please help if you can.
