No, a normal setup would have that world-readable but not writable. That way, even if an exploit is found in your web site that lets an attacker write files, s/he can't upload more files to the web server's directory and start running them. A directory writable by the web server might be /tmp. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
