Hi Jayesh:

In a shared environment, if there are files you MUST keep from being read 
(for instance, passwords for database connections, etc) chmod them to be 
only readable by you and then configure the scripts that do need database 
access to execute as a CGI script.  I do this all the time.

One way for ISP's to reduce exposure is to put all users into a group and
have all files on the web server put into that group and set the mask to
make files not readable/writeable/executable by "group" but readable by
"other" so the web server can get to them.

Enjoy,

--Dan
