I'd say, neither. Stuff put in /usr/lib/cgi-bin will be accessible to the whole world by default. Unless the only reason to install your package is to get the CGI program installed, it shouldn't do it at all. Security conscious admins would not thank you for installing a CGI script they didn't expect. The admin can link your program into cgi-bin if desired. -- Roderick Schertler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
