Thanks Drieux I didn't want to take the time to write what you did, but I'm glad to see it on the list. David (aka sometimeAnotTooBrightNewbie)

Besides I still feel squishy about the fact that I can run perl modules as 644 - which just seems unNatural to moi.... And if your JackBootedFascistThug doesn't allow cgi's to run in 'user directories' - then of course these are not questions worth worrying about.... But if you are the webJackBootedFascistThugInTraining - then suddenly these are the questions that one smells with the coffee and goes Oh MY GOD! what are the rules of the road. Given the number of Mac Folks cutting over to OSX who all of a sudden can run Apache - they are having the sobriety moment. Given the number of Windows folks who have learned the hardway that some of that IIS stuff should have been controlled - and was merely a portal asking to get scrammed - uh, like being a little paranoid is not a bad thing... I know I'm an FNG - but this ain't my first time being an FNG in something - so since I keep making it back CONUS i figure the basic notion of 'ask enough dumb questions who knows you may learn something.' So cut the cat some slack. ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
