+Question: Do ikiwiki.cgi and the RCS post-commit script sanitize the $PATH separately from bin/ikiwiki?  If not, then bin/ikiwiki is probably right to sanitize the $PATH; otherwise you've created a security hole with access to the account that ikiwiki is SUID to. It'd be nice if /opt/local/bin were earlier in the $PATH, but that can be changed (as noted) in the setup file.

 A better way(?) would be to add a plugin to set the SVN_SSH variable at the appropriate moment (or even to add this to the SVN plugin).  What kind of hook should this be; it needs to run just *after* the CGI script cleans its environment? --[[Glenn|geychaner@mac.com]]

+Actually, this probably doesn't need to be a plugin; setting SVN_SSH in ENV can probably be done through the setup file.  (Right?)  --[[Glenn|geychaner@mac.com]]
