Re: [cobalt-users] Newbie Question- New Server -Form to Email Problem

This isnt an answer to your question, but if you are afraid of granting
cgi-bin access to your customers, why not consider creating a server wide
cgi-bin with the common programs such as formmail.pl.  That way you control
the bin, but the customers are able to use the most common programs.  If
your customers require special programs you can also install them to insure
that they do not do anything strange.
