Uncle Drieux Learns an important lesson.
Never let artists download and install interesting perl CGI's to the site CGI without making sure that they 'get it' about security. I mean some ancient piece of cgi form got hacked today and was spamming from our site - I mean they must have gotten at least three pieces of email out before the JackBootedFascistThugUberGeek shut that down, and explained that we needed to have the 'perl guy' check it out. Fortunately for our Artist - she downloaded well mannered perl CGI that gave a URL to the site, and a version string, and the usual cool stuff - so all I had to do was go back, look at their site - notice their FLAMING BIG LETTER update for 'security issues' - download, read their README, after looking at the new version - going "I like, these folks are good" and.... So while most folks here may not yet be ready for prime time.... AIM HIGH - put the Version string in, use proper internal documentation..... The Geek you Protect may be your Replacement as you start the long march to corporate wealth and fame.... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
