Hi Felix

Thanks for responding.

I will look into cgi-fcgi later on - currently the webmail application 
is built for perperl and works very well at this point -

Thanks, will get it going without chroot for now and slowly migrate to a 
chroot setup if it doesn't prove to be too cumbersome.

How experimental is "as experimental" :-)  Would you recommend I stick 
to using fnord at this point in time?

Have you any comparitive experience in running fnord under tcpserver 
versus Gerrit Pape's tcpsvd?  I've always used the former for network 
services, but am always interested in better alternatives, if they exist.

Thanks
