This is an addendum to the other message stating that the Getright download
"utility" creates a security breech in cgi files. Well, this concerned me so
I downloaded it and installed it. I've got all my cgi files set to non-world
readable and all it would do was excicute the scripts and show the results..
not dangerous as this is all available via view/source anyway..
BUT... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!! Uninstalling this thing is misery! It
breaks browsers and leaves a trail of crap!
Whaat a miserable excuse for "Software"..
Just thought I'd try to save anyone else a 3 hour session with this thing!
