BTW I have another (tough and slighty OT ) question.

In case of using a flat-file database with Rev cgi (in a similar way
as WebMerge, that is HTML pages genetaed on-the-fly from HTML
templates and data stored as various txt files + indexes and loaded at
each cgi request), how does one manage security on the server for
those data files ? I mean : to prevent them from being hacked / modified /
downloaded by unauthorized users ?
I guess it's more a server security issue, but nevertheless, getting
clear answers and indications might make several list members feel like
trying it, as for small amounts of data it often means less headaches than
working with an SQL DB...

Thanks,
JB
