I'll give boa a try. Will it mess up anything on a system that has apache installed? I will also investigate the use of lynx directly with CGI. I hope that you are hinting at something I need: If I run lynx as root and execute an 'adduser' CGI script that cannot be executed by others, then I will start writing a whole buncha sysadmin CGI. > > Whereever it is safe to do so, this could be expanded on.

Want to work on that? Since I did a lot of work which was rendered obsolete by the features of dwww, it would be a good idea to apply my experience to something like this. We could call it 'cute CGI/perl tricks' or we could fit it into the dwww scheme :-) I will start gathering them up. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
