I found out the problem: httpd was chroot'd to /var/www/. I started httpd
with the "-u" flag to disable, and it was good.

This is on an openbsd 3.3 box. what I do not understand is that if it
is chroot'd to /var/www and the script alias is under /var/www/cgi-bin/
than why would it nbot work? Certainly that directly is within
the chroot env.

stumped.
