Robert,
I'd be careful about using this script, or scripts like it. In particular
the variable
$maxima_blacklist
does not appear to contain the Maxima "system" command. It appears that
an arbitrary user would be able to execute a system command, which (at a
very quick first read through) represents a rather large security hole.
I've tried to do something like this myself as part of
http://www.stack.bham.ac.uk
and this code is open source - with a "permit" rather than just a
"blacklist" approach to security. I'm sorry I'm in such a rush today, but
I'd be careful about using this particular script!
