As you have noticed that CAC has release a security update on 3/12/2001. But the update still have a big security problem. Someone may be
able to download the start.lib file from your cgi-bin. It may be impossible to do so on your server, but I think many others can! I suggest to rename it to start.cgi and change so that no one will be able to download it.

How would you download the start.lib scipt? I would like to know if that is possible from my server. Please share any info you may have.

Just try to type http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/start.lib in your browser and see if it will load. I think most servers do not allow this to load, but some do.
