Hi all, just thought I'd let people know. I recently developed a way to pass protected config file data to unprotected perl scripts (system user scripts/cgis). The project can be found at http://psc.sourceforge.net/ It is a C setuid wrapper that opens a protected file and drops its priviledge, then execs the proper perl script leaving the filehandle available to it. There is then a module Config::Secure, which initializes the script and optionally parses the conf data. I originally came up with this idea in the search for a way to pass DBI passwords to scripts that needed to be available to users but connected to a database, so I thought others here might appreciate it. It is still alpha, but I would appreciate any input. The project is all GPL, free for use.
