this is probably not the best group to ask in,
comp.os.linux.security, comp.security.unix and maybe 
comp.security.firewalls might be better. 

most distributions have a security howto, for debian this would be:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/

good luck,
grobbeltje.

About:
                                                                                      \
  cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which
 allow users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows
 users to view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which
 updates the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user
 authentication. It is possible to run a script to update SAMBA
 passwords or NIS configuration when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi
 creates a .procmailrc in the user's home directory. A user with too
 many invalid logins can be locked. The minimum and maximum UID can be
 set in the configuration file, so you can specify a range of UIDs that
 are allowed to use cgipaf.
                                                                                      \
  CGIpaf 1.2.4 is the latest stable version and is available at:

 http://staf.patat.org/cgipaf/

 Debian GNU/Linux packages ( woody/sarge/sid ) are available at:

 http://staf.patat.org/debian/

ChangeLog:

 * version 1.2.4         ( 28 Nov 2003 )
  + BUGFIX: previous version didn't work with sleepycat 4.x
  + BUGFIX: mailcfg.vacation updated to support BSD vacation
