by Hello
My problem is with a cgi script and unix/linux systems.
I have a cgi script that happens to be written in C. The cgi sends a request
to a special purpose server on another machine and then waits for the reply.
The connection is TCP not UDP. The problem is that the request is received
by the special server but its reply is not returned to script. If the
special server is accessed from a normal user account then it works fine.
The problem occurs on both Linux and Sun based http servers.
It seems to be a problem with access rights and perhaps the "nobody" user,
but I am inexperienced in these matters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John
