I can see how that would be ideal.  However, I am not able to do that at
this time.  Short of keeping it outside of a web server, what security
precautions (including permissions 666 etc.) could I take to keep people
from viewing the text file from the browser.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,

Any sort of data file should be maintained outside of web server
space with permissions that allow the web demon to access it in the
manner it needs to.  Your CGIs can get to the file but web browsers can't.
