NeonEdge Design has created NeonBase for many reasons, however, NeonBase IS NOT CERTIFIED AS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: SECURE RELIABLE BULLET-PROOF PRACTICAL FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE By using this software, you indicate that you fully understand that this software comes with no warrantees, implied or otherwise, and that the NeonBase database software is not written with the intent that it provide any sort of secure data storage or manipulation. It also is possible for this script (or any Perl Script) to allow a person with such intent to access private files on your server or network. Although we have been careful to not allow this to happen, we in no way certify that this script is in any way secure, and further suggest that any system that requires security, never use Perl scripts that need any sort of write access to the host on which they reside. If you are using Perl scripts on a security conscious server, then the only way to provide security is to set all file permissions to '555' and ensure that no files are owned by the UID that the script or the web server will run as (i.e, if the web server or the script will run as 'nobody' then no files should be owned by nobody). By not allowing the services to run as a 'privilidged' user, anyone who gains control of the UID that the particular service runs under, gives the nefarious character that gained such control no ability to create the havoc that they likely intended.
