Thanks for the reply Chris :) I had already thought about the php.ini system related security and rejected that as an issue because I run phpsysinfo and had already made some custom changes (using back-ticks, etc, for reporting DNS/Bind statistics for example) and that code was allowed to execute. I am sort of stuck with the idea it is something I am missing in the hooks surrounding Dokuwiki itself; I even went to far as to pull a Dokuwiki version cleanly out of Lenny and install it into Etch to see if it is the way Dokuwiki was installed ... I will study the action plug-in pages more closely. Thanks again! Bill On 10/16/07, Chris Smith <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Take a look at the action plugin pages at wiki.splitbrain.org.
