The reason why it wont work via CGI is because the webserver runs as a
non-privledged user, and linuxconf requires root privs.
Whatever you're trying to do sounds rather dangerous. If you are intent on
doing system administration via a web-browser, I would recommend you take a
look at the "Webmin" package instead of trying to re-invent this particular
wheel.
I personally dont use Webmin, cause it still freaks me out to be doing
root-level configurations using a webbrowser, unless you restrict access
only to localhost.
