Has anyone tried accepting Ecash with on a Redhat 3.0.3 box? I'd like to 
do so for one of our customers, but it requires 1 CGI to be installed, 
nph-charge.cgi. From what I heard before, there was a bug/glitch in nph 
that caused a security hole. If that wasn't bad enough, they want the 
file to be SGID root! :( Would this be a bad security move with Redhat 
3.0.3? I always try to kill all the SUID/SGID files, and this just 
doesn't sound like a good idea to me. :P Anyone else using ecash? Anyone 
have an opinion from a security standpoint?
