[[done]] --[[Joey]] + +Question: Do ikiwiki.cgi and the RCS post-commit script sanitize the $PATH separately from bin/ikiwiki? If not, then bin/ikiwiki is probably right to sanitize the $PATH; otherwise you've created a security hole with access to the account that ikiwiki is SUID to. It'd be nice if /opt/local/bin were earlier in the $PATH, but that can be changed (as noted) in the setup file. [[Glenn|geychaner@mac.com]] |
