Hi Folks,

   Besides changing Apache to run as a user (thanks Benjamin), does
anyone have any thoughts about getting web Perl script to read
.my.cnf when .my.cnf is set to 600? (The Perl script runs as nobody,
so it can't read it unless .my.cnf is set to 644.)

   Is this a limitation of Unix that we can't avoid, or is there
some brilliant work around?

Yours,

Peter
