in thread calling sccs from cgi-bin script

Hi Sgifford,

When I print out the command, it is generating it correctly. If I place any command (/bin/ls, /bin/echo) in a variable and try to execute it, it is quietly skipped over. Now, from what I can tell, this should only be occurring with the -T taint checking flag enabled.

    taint checking should cause the script to die, not just ignore the variable. Show us the code where the variable is supposed to be set. Are you running this as a regular CGI script, or under mod_perl?
