: Ah, that makes sense. I think. Mmm maybe not -
: 775 is owner/group/everyone == rwx/rwx/rx, ...

: The web user falls into the everyone section, right?
: So rx on everyone protects me from them writing to
: the cgi directory. How does one give other users
: in your group access to write to the cgi directory
: if scripts bomb with rwx access?

: Thanks for the insight!

: : Giving 775 ax's to your cgi-bin is allowing web users to write over the script, its common practice to dis-allow that normally by making the script quit with an error, I think someone probably forgot to write the error routine as they probably never tried changing the ax's when they where testing.
