hi, i'm still new at perl and just now getting into security issues and the like.
basically, my boss wants me to be able to keep others from being able to access our
stuff. the perl guy before me stored it in our public_html/cgi-bin. apparently, this
is not the safest thing to do. anyone with an afs account could potentially get in. so
their original solution was to not make it world writable. this caused the logs to
stop recording.
unfortunately, the perl guy was in an accident and passed away and no one else knows
perl. i was working on flash when my boss told me to also learn perl. so here i am
without a clue and my boss wants this fixed by Tue or Wed. umm, help?
someone else suggested something like a temp directory or something.
thanks, nichole
