Thanks for the answer Steven.
I actually have been around the ownership issue and that is not "it" - the
scripts are owned by regualar users.
I have had my nose in every direction and still I'm lost :(
- the problem is not in the scripts ... they work fine (when named .pl or
.cgi).
- it is not the .htm ... .ok .hmm or .fck don't work - only .pl or .cgi
will execute as a script...
