Re: Question $ENV{REMOTE_USER} in edit-article.pl causes problem?? (Rocky Rhodes)

I bet you are using Netsite. I'm told that that server always sends STDERR to STDOUT, unlike NCSA's httpd. If it is another server, I'd like to know.

Also, because it is not NCSA's httpd, the security is likely done a different way, and you didn't select the "manual security" option. So when you restrict access to the edit-article.pl script, it is probably *not* asking who you are so therefore the test for whether you are an admin fails. If you were to fix the security (try manual security), it might work.

However, what you tried next was to turn off security for edit-article.pl and add-article.pl. This would otherwise work, except it turns out there is a bug in that case and it fails to let you in. So you lose both ways. This second problem will be fixed for the next version. The first problem, with netsite, is harder to fix, but we are working on it.
