Well, this is all what I'd expect because scripts on FreeBSD (and pretty much all other Unix-ish systems) won't respect setuid permissions (it's too much of a security hole in practice). Apache has some sort of setuid facility of its own for dealing with this. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
