With your permissions that badly screwed up, it is only a matter of time before someone finds it and has their own ghost server. First, go pick up a System Admin book for Redhat Second, READ IT, Especially the parts on permissions and changing users Third, Re-install the OS Fourth, read the CLI vs. HTTP differences on programming languages you are using. Obviously Perl and PHP are going to give you the same errors when using the HTTP and will operate differently from the CLI unless running as the same user. This might even help your schooling. Hopefully your classroom exercises are further along then these basic principles, but if not I have severe doubts in anyone graduating with an MIS from Indiana University. Wolf
