Re: logout and cosign.cgi question

[kevin mcgowan <clunis@xxxxxxxxx>]

We install logout in a cgi-bin directory using a ScriptAlias -- so it 
doesn't need an extension.  We install the login cgi in DocumentRoot 
with ExecCGI turned on -- so we use the .cgi extension there.  Lot's of 
our users already knew that appending "/cgi-bin/logout" to the end of a 
url would cause logout to happen, so we wanted to preserve that 
behavior.

There's not much more to it than that.  Do you think it would make more 
sense to move the logout cgi into DocumentRoot/logout/index.cgi or 
similar?  So a ScriptAlias isn't needed?
