CGIWrap - Usage with AFS

CGIwrap will work with AFS, with at least the following directory permissions:

If you are running httpd authenticated to AFS, you can replace system:anyuser above with that userid.

If you are using CGIWrap with AFS I'd suggest making sure to enable the AFS PAG support in the Configure script. This automatically creates a PAG for any script that is launched, that way if the script klogs, it won't affect the server or other scripts. When using cgiwrap with AFS based accounts, you need to keep in mind that scripts are run un-authenticated. This means that any files that are accessed will be accessed as system:anyuser. In general, this means that the script will not have write access to your directory.
