The configuration changes to Butternut are complete; all CGI and PHP scripts should now be running as the owner, rather than as the web server. The server is in the process of scanning the home directory for all user files and changing their ownership and permissions to match the new requirements.
Note that from this time forward, if you have scripts that require the web server to write files to your account, those scripts will be running as you, rather than as "nobody." This means you need to make sure the files/directories you want to write to are owned by and writable by you, rather than the web server or everybody.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or any problems arise. Thank you for your patience.
