I'm stuck! I want to write to a text file through a CGI script in
append/truncate mode, but every time I am told I don't have permission. I'm
running Linux, I've changed ownership and group to nobody and nogroup to no
avail.
What do I have to do to get it to work? Security is not an issue

A few thoughts:
* Is the file
its most likely because the web server is running as nobody
and the file is owned by your user.
you can make the file writable to everyone by type :
chmod goa+rwx filename
or to be safe you can install SuExec on apache, it will execute the cgis
as the user who owns them..
