Hi Christoph,

have a look on cgi/cgiauth.c Line 270

<snip>
    270         /* if this user is authorized for this host, they are for all services on it as well... */
    271         /* if(is_authorized_for_host(temp_host,authinfo)==TRUE)
    272                 return TRUE;
    273         */

Change Line 271...272 and recompile your cgis

Jörg
