If the user uploaded the CGI via FTP as that username, it should run as
that user. (I even had a small problem of a script that sent mail
sending the mail as user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of the
Return-path: specified in the script).

If it's a FrontPage site, if they turn the CGI-BIN locally into a
subweb, then when they publish the main web only, the CGI-BIN shouldn't
be touched.
