UUCP also works quite well over TCP/IP and is very handy for getting
your domain's mail if you don't have a static IP.

Postfix is also very secure. And in my opinion, much easier to
configure than qmail.
And before anyone bashes me, I ran qmail for a couple of years with
multiple virtual domain

otherwise the same.

I'm kind of curious - what makes you say MacOS X isn't a full unix? I
run OSX Server on a couple machines and it seems pretty full to me -
most stuff builds with ./configure;
s well.
So create a second account, usercgi for the people who need to use cgis
and don't have the time/knowledge to secure them.
I still don't see where having all the users share one uid for their
cgis is better than having them use their own id - at least the damage
is limited t
erience they start paying more attention to what they're writing.

Or send a letter to the postmaster at each of those area codes telling

nt xfree-update

It'll upgrade your XFree86 to 3.3.6 which supports the diamond viper in
