They do run on the Cobalt, Gery. Gossamer tests its scripts on Linux 
and, as you know, these are very solidly coded scripts (among the 
best out there) but there sometimes are permissions and path issues 
you need to work on because of the way cgiwrap is done on the Raq.

Couple of things. You're having a problem with the password in this 
program. Have you made sure that the password file itself is 777? 
Although they say you can ease off those permissions if you have 
cgiwrap installed, I would still suggest doing the "world" 
permissions on that file.

Also, you may have an encryption issue with the password. Did you 
start with a fresh copy of the password file or is it one you've used 
on another machine. Sometimes, the machines use different encryption 
algorithms and this makes it difficult to just move them from one 
machine to another. I always start fresh.

I'm not sure what permissions you're running but try maxing 
everything except the script itself (keep that 755) and see what 
happens.

If you still have problems, email me off list and I'll try to help.
