Hm, good point. At the moment its both -- /var/www is installed as www-data.www-data, but other packages like MRTG make subdirs owned by root. And CGI is off in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, root.root per Policy. Might be a good idea to change the default ownerships. --------------------- PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _ Debian GNU Johnie Ingram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __ "netgod" irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |> < Yes, I'm Linus, and I am your God. mm mm \____/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ -- Linus, keynote address, Expo 98 GO BLUE
