[FWTools] FWtools on Linux FC4

[Jeremy Sears]

Hi All,
 Im having troubles with permissions while trying to run mapserver on my 
system.I've posted the error log below. Im assuming that I should open 
access to the file "fwtools_env.sh". Im wondering if permission can be 
granted to everyone or just to apache? Are there any security issues 
raised by granting access to all?
thanks
Jeremy
