cgi in webb apps location
Hi,
I'm working on packaging IP network/addresses management application,
perl CGI's with some HTML and CSS on Mysql.
I have few questions regarding placing files;
- web apps policy is to place files in /usr/share/PACKAGE but that
(maybe) pulls some security issues. Seems that all dirs and files in
/usr/share is under root:root ownership.
Because CGI's must have x permissions beside root, that means I have to
give x permissions to "others" and that doesnt look very good to me.
Question is can I change ownership in /usr/share on apache user and if I
cant, what will be the best place for CGI's?
- application contains several scripts for automatic actualization
against DNS, OCS inventory tool or SNMP polls against the network
device, they can be used from command line or from crontab, /usr/bin?
Tnx.
Regards,
Nenad
