backdoor.cgi seems to be a Netscape-specific cgi, so we shouldn't be shipping it in the tree. And I've been told Netscape probably don't even use it anyway now we have bug moving. Not only that, when I ran it on b.m.o, it didn't know me and it gave me a nice set of information about the system it was running on that could be useful to a system cracker. It's probably OK on other systems though because on my local installation it falls over before it gets this far. Let's not scare admins anymore with its name and trash it.

Terry, probably worth a comment, since you wrote this for a special purpose... (I'm sure you could probably care less now though ;)

The purpose was to allow Netscape people to move bugs from their internal bugsystem (Bugsplat) into Bugzilla. I don't know if Bugsplat still exists or if anyone at Netscape still uses or needs this functionality. If it can be determined that they don't, then I agree this should be nuked. If they do, I don't mind telling them they have to maintain their own copy and then it still can be nuked.

ok, endico/myk: time to check the access_log and see if any IPs inside Netscape have been accessing that file :-)

Lisa, is anyone still moving bugs from bugsplat into bugzilla?

Not that I know of (bugsplat to bugzilla). It's not frequent enough to warrant an automated process.

ok, on that note, it's been yanked from cvs. if for some reason someone decides they want it back, the following should retrieve it again. cvs update -D2001-06-26 backdoor.cgi
