README for CGIwrap:
-------------------
This is CGI-Wrap - a gateway that allows more secure user access to CGI
programs on an HTTPd server than is provided by the http server itself. The
primary function of CGIwrap is to make certain that any CGI script runs with
the permissions of the user who installed it, and not those of the server.
CGIwrap works with NCSA httpd, Apache, CERN httpd, NetSite Commerce and
Communications servers, and probably any other Unix based web server
software that supports CGI.
This code may be freely copied and distributed as long as the documentation
and README files are kept intact. You may not modify and redistribute
CGIwrap without my permission. Permission is granted to include CGIwrap on
any CD-ROM or online software collection as long as I get a complimentary
copy of the CD-ROM, or at the very least, you send me an order form.
An important note is, this script makes the CGI access MORE secure, but
it does not make CGI "secure". By it's very nature, CGI itself can
never be 100% secure, it is always dependent on the script itself. It is
always a good idea to pay attention to the various unix security and CGI
authoring news groups. If in doubt, show your scripts to someone who is more
experienced, they might catch something you missed.
