Okay. An update:
1) the /etc/profile is in fact profile and not .profile. This is what
happens when one e-mails when running on a negative amount of sleep and
such.
As for recreating that whole making-a-dir-with-bad-perms thing I don't
think I can do it because whenever I mkdir it has correct perms,
regardless of how I am logged in (i.e. my normal user vs. root vs.
anything else). Perhaps that was just a fluke. In any case, my people
have been alerted as to how to chmod and chown now and know when and
when not to play with those ever-so-powerful commands. ;)
The "I can't FTP" thing...well that was just very sad. Despite my
co-admin being warned that I need actual information when she's
reporting a problem, ("Saying, "I can't FTP" is like saying "I don't
really feel good," to a doctor) she didn't explain to me that "I can't
FTP" really means she can log in and can play around in any directory
but the one with the bad perms. ;)
Maybe that whole thing with making the directory was a fluke. Like I
said, when I make new dirs, I get 755 perms. She got 644 on her newly
made directory, which is bad, considering it renders CD useless. ;)
As for the CGI, it still does not work. I entered the line earnest told
me to enter. I did so using "echo" (which is what the rest of the file
uses) as well as using print. I tried with and without a semi-colon on
the end. I restarted httpd after each change. No help. So now I am
pasting the file. This is for a script which runs finger on the machine
and prints the e-mail addie to the web user.
There is one other script which is not working, but since someone else
coded it and he has 13+ scripts in his directory all named things which
lead me to believe it could be ANY of them and I don't understand CGI I
am just pasting this one and going to assume that the both need the same
change and/or ask him what the hell file it is... *sigh*
Yeah. I reiterate my suckiness. Here is the script (please excuse
naughty language: geeks which are not me having fun, apparantly...:
#!/usr/bin/csh -f
set fuck=`echo $QUERY_STRING |sed s/yum=/\ /g`
echo "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
echo ""
echo "<HTML>"
echo "<body bgcolor=white text=black link=red>"
set fucko=`echo $fuck|grep +`
if( $fucko == $fuck ) then
echo "Please enter only one name, first or last, at a time."
else
finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]>./result
set fucke = `cat ./result |grep finger:`
echo $fucke
echo `cat ./result |./login`
endif
echo "</body>"
echo "</html>"
Again, Apache says it's a matter of premature headers (I think. Been a
few days), and the web browser translates that into: There has been an
internal error, please e-mail webmaster@<Erin'sdomain>.edu
:P
