Re: [cgiwrap-users] REMOTE_USER

[Peter K. <pe...@li...>]

YOu wouldn't know if someone has already done a serious one of these?

eventually have  (ssl as secure as ssh2) login and permissions access based 
on system file permissions.

This on top of the current explicitly authorized "virtual tree".
It would be nice :)
