nobody.cgi

nobody.cgi is a simple Perl script that you can use to execute commands as user:nobody. Do you have a message board, counter or any other script on your server that generates files? Have you ever tried to manually edit one of these files? You may have noticed that you can't because you don't own the file - user:nobody owns the file and you can't edit it. By installing nobody.cgi on your server, you can execute commands with user:nobody's permissions, which means you can create, delete, view, modify and change permissions on files owned by user:nobody.
