The fpweb script does create two or three temp files in /tmp that do get
chmod 666 so that filepro can read and write them.

They are deleted when the script finishes.

No one from the web has access to /tmp in any case.

What is your problem?

I have over 50 web sites using fpweb, some since 1999 and none has ever been
compromised by any attack although a close reading of the logs shows
thousands of attempts.

More to the point, what did you think of my applications?

Remember. Brian White is our sysadmin - he does not allow anything that
might be dangerous to occur on our or our clients servers.
