Ian,

That's next on my list .... I have to look up the syntax for everything
though. Linux just isn't second nature to me yet :)

You've got a firewall, right? :-)

Have you tried starting coldfusion as root to see if this is the issue
(as someone else mentioned)?

Ian,

Actually - I don't really WANT nobody to have a shell do I? Doesn't that
mean a user could login via SSH as nobody with no password?

You can probably see by doing a cat of /etc/passwd (depending on your
system)

Its been a while since I've played with Linux - things may have changed
:-)

Ok.. Do you know how to solve that issue? How do I make sure that nobody

If you haven't already - try capturing those 2 vars - you might see
something different than in savecontent.

Rex,

Ok.... But wouldn't "sudo -u nobody" from the command line show me if
"nobody" did not have permissions? It's seems to work fine from the command
line (and yes - cf is running as nobody).

And CF runs as the nobody user, correct?

Try running CF as root and see if that works. If it does, it's a
permission issue with the nobody user (maybe nobody has permissions to
execute convert). If it does not, it may be an issue with cfexecute

Well, typically that's the kind of thing I might have done at the
external gateway, rather than on the box itself. But I'm sure you can
do that sort of thing with iptables/ipchains. You
