On those systems CGI programs are submitted to system personnel for approval before they are placed into the common CGI-bin. Here we allow creation of CGI scripts in your home directory. We have described how to do this below. For security reasons, however, we may search the system for cgi-scripts and inspect the code. To be able to run your own CGI scripts, you need to name your CGI script files with the ``.cgi'' suffix, e.g. my-cgi-script.cgi make your CGI scripts readable and executable by everyone, e.g. by running chmod a+rx my-cgi-script.cgi
