    Absolutely not. You have user 'you' permissions. Your script will likely run under user 'nobody' and have very limited permissions. Check your system calls as noted below and all will be revealed.

    As for how to solve this do a Super Search for "setuid CGI" in the text. Here is one link SUID?
