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.

This is for a script which runs finger on the machine and prints the e-mail addie to the web user. Are you sure that finger works? What happens if you comment it out? Try the bare-bones script below, and see if that works. What about if you change 'text/html' to 'text/plain'? -- #!/usr/bin/csh -f echo Content-type: text/html\n\n echo echo HTML echo body bgcolor=white text=black link=red echo Yeah, it worksbr echo /body echo /html -- Are you sure apache is configured to allow the running of cgi scripts?
