Run CGI As User..?
Hi,

My server is set up so that all cgi scripts are run as user nobody, instead of the user's username.

Now I know you can use cgi-wrappers, but someone please give me detailed information, on how to make ALL scripts run on the server to by default, run as the user? And not to run as user nobody??

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

If your CGI scripts dont have any security holes (you have to check this first). Then just give execute access to all(everybody). It should work. You might also check with read access. But i'm not sure is it secure or not.

Good luck.
