After all, /var/www is where you will put the rest of the root of your site, and many things in /var are meant to be changed by the user (eg /var/spool, /var/mail, /var/cvs, /var/lib/zope/*). However, I have been putting the scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin only because that's where the default config says they are and that's where some packages (mailman, zope) put the scripts they come with. Maybe a split cgi-bin would be the best alternative -- /usr/lib/cgi-bin for packaged stuff and /var/www/cgi-bin for the rest. Just my $0.02. -D -- Windows, hmmm, does it come with a GUI interface that works or just pretty blue screens? http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
