httpd controls ?

[Jeremy Ardley]

Hi,

I am experimenting with cgi-bin perl scripts to set specific user's 
passwords. The scripts correctly generate passwords when run from the 
bash prompt but silently do nothing when invoked on the web page.

I assume this is a selinux issue and would like some pointers.

1.Is letting a cgi script change passwords a good idea?
2. If it is safe, how do I persuade selinux to let it happen?

Thanks

Jeremy
