It doesnt print them and it dies if either the HTTP_REFERER does not exist or its name is identical from the current SCRIPT_NAME. I think that should prevent the password file from being executed.</p> <p>Malte</p> <p>------------------<br /> [b]Malte Ubl - <a href="http://www.Schaffhausen.de" class="bb-url">www.Schaffhausen.de</a><br /> References: <a href="http://www.Parma-Aurel.de" class="bb-url">www.Parma-Aurel.de</a> <a href="http://www.HellermannTyton.de" class="bb-url">www.HellermannTyton.de</a> <a href="http://www.TotalVital.de" class="bb-url">www.TotalVital.de</a></p> Fri, 04 Feb 2000 12:58:00 +0000 Malte comment 1031362 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/chmod-0755#comment-1031361 <p>It does not depend on chmod malte, the MIME-type is what it depends on. e.g. all .cgi-files will be executed if the server is set up like this. rename the same file to .txt and it will be read <img src="http://www.webmaster-forums.com/ubb/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" /><br /> later</p> <p>Patrick</p> <p>------------------<br /> The Webmaster Forums - General Administrator<br /> Visit me at <a href="http://www.ectoweb.de" class="bb-url">http://www.ectoweb.de</a></p> Fri, 04 Feb 2000 11:40:00 +0000 comment 1031361 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
