Ok - I turned myself off as an adminstrator in the GUI and hit save. But 
the cgi script still runs fine with me as user. I didn't reboot the 
server. I then chown'ed the files back to site3admin since it is now the 
only site admin, and it wouldn't work. So I chowned 'em back to myself, 
still not an admin, and will see if the script still works tomorrow (if 
Centos restarts services at night). I would like to be able to figure 
this out so I can get myself off those files for when we install a 
content management system.   /thx - jd
