The IBM http server should be set up with a surrogate user id to limit access to resources. We use the default PUBLIC surrogate id in our shop. So you
could have security issues if you are set up similarly as the surrogate id should not be uid(0). You can also turn trace on in your CGI script. The resulting output in your browser is ugly but it may give you a clue as to what's happening.
