I have a script to receive Paypal IPNs. I want to run it as the interchange
user.

How would I go about this. Ie where would it be placed on the file system
and what url would be used to call it?

Hi, Mark!

You might find that it's easier to avoid re-inventing the wheel and keep
your scripts inside Interchange. You could use a regular page, or an
action map, or any number of other methods. Then you don't have to worry
so much about some CGI compromising your catalog.

If you _really_ wish to use an external script, an important question
is, what does it need to access? I can think of many ways to give
privileges to your script. For one, if you have installed apache/perl
with suid capabilities, you can make the script owned by the Interchange
user and set its SUID bit:

$ chmod 4655 myscript.cgi

Good luck,
