Hi, I wrote a script which takes some info from the user and generates a form letter.
The script is run locally for five users, so security is not that important (although it is always important, I know). The script manages to write data to my output file if I created it first and chmodded it to 666, but fails otherwise. This is because the script is run by the web user, of course. Is there a more or less secure way to allow the script to a) create / write to a file b) apply pdflatex to that file (i.e. create a pdf file from the .tex source) c) open the resulting pdf file (using the open function in OS X) I read that setiud scripts are considered a security hole, and though my environment is not that critical, I do not want to use hazardous techniques. Any hints? Thank you. - Jan -- There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence. - Jeremy S.
