Environment variables Insecure. See Re^2: exec, echo and pipe and below. Per-user config files With chmod 0600, ok if you can trust root and the filesystem containing the configuration file is not exposed to other machines (e.g. via NFS or Samba). Insecure if running on a shared hosting webserver, where all code runs using the same user account. Command-line switches Insecure. See Re^2: exec, echo and pipe and below. Prompt the user at run-time (ie. STDIN) Won't work in a web environment. Alexander
