Graphs and maint.pl

Hi,
 
I'm reading man-pages and Tips and Tricks.
In Tips and Tricks I read about Apache graphs and I tested it. Of course it worked. But my question is: Where do I find documentation about available graphs?
 
I also read about "Unsecure path...." from Perl. We also had some mails about this SetEnv. I never got it to work. Don't know where to put SetEnv.
 
However changing -wT to -wt in maint.pl works. But probably makes it more unsecure.
 
Regards

There isn't any, really. hobbitgraph.cfg has the definitions so you
can see which ones exist by looking there, but you're right - it would
be nice to have a brief description of each somewhere.

I guess around the same place in httpd.conf that you added the
hobbi-cgi definitions.

The note I wrote about SetEnv and maint.pl was purely done from the
perlsec man-page. Since the problem doesn't show up anywhere I can try
Hobbit, it's a bit difficult to dive into.

It does make it accept "tainted" data. But since the same script runs
with -wT in lots of places, it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe I'll do my own maint.pl replacement someday.

Hi Henrik,
 This is from my httpd.conf
<Directory "/home/hobbit/cgi-secure">             SetEnv PATH /bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin      AllowOverride None                            Options ExecCGI Includes                      Order allow,deny                              Allow from all                  This doesn't help. You always could come here and try  Regards

I'm waiting for the effects of Einstein's theory of relativity to kick
in, so I can have 40-hour days :-)

Well you could always start the day in India and Finish it here in US
that will give you a total of 34 hrs, every other day, but might be kind
a expensive. Hehehe
