Hi,

We're implementing a browser driven interface to setting up interchange catalogs. One of the steps involved in this is the makecat of course. I have written a wrapper that is suid the interchange user, that checks parameters etc. for safety. However, makecat is called from here as suid aswell, and it is giving me a lot of errors due to the forced -T mechanism.

Has anyone got any solutions to this, other than me auditing makecat and making it -T safe?

Or is what we are trying to do a crazy idea?

Thanks for the help
