Is it sensible to drop java-rmi.cgi in cgi-bin considering that it's puprose is
to tunnel rmi to any host/port bypassing any local firewall? Here is what
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/rmi/RMI.html says about it:

"Additionally, using the java-rmi.cgi script exposes a fairly large security
loophole on your server machine, as now, the script can redirect any incoming
request to any port, completely bypassing your firewalling mechanism."

IMHO it would be better to install it somewhere else, anyone that needs to use
it will have to modify it anyway to restrict to specific ports at the minimum so
it's more of an example than a usefull application.
