You would need to change appropriate snippets of code in daemon.cpp and index.cpp. However, I would strongly advise against doing this unless you have a thorough understanding of the security implications and you accept that compromise of your systems is a risk you are prepared to take. This is not to say that ASPseek is insecure, the scope of this issue is far more generalised than to be specific to ASPseek. If you posed this question to any good security professional they would certainly look at you like you just arrived from another planet ;) Matt.
