The sysadmin trusts users enough to allow running arbitrary CGI there. Not giving shell access greatly limits the accidental mis-uses of the server, or silly attacks by incompetent users (i.e. "students" ;-) ). A few years ago, people had shell access on most servers, and they were using it to run seti@home & other heavy stuff there. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
