I'm planning on using Xitami to run some Python cgi scripts that are to be =
accessed by a single client (my father!) over the Internet (I learned of =
Xitami at comp.lang.python).  I'd like to make things as secure as =
possible.  Can anyone give me an overview of configuration tips for Xitami =
to help avoid any breaches?  I'll set up a user/password he'll have to =
enter, but other than that, what configuration options would be helpful?

I'm running Windows XP, connected to the Internet via cable modem.

Any pointers appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris
