This might ought to be another thread... but I wondered...in the case where cgi is allowed in any directory.. how can they be kept from being seen? I have just always included an index.html.. so that someone trying to see inside the directory... just gets the index.html. I suppose a miscreant could just keep trying different filenames and get lucky. Or is there some systematic way to discover whats in a directory with an index.html present? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
