Yes - no control in the sense that I don't have anywhere near the time to
audit every script uploaded to a shared web server. However, they cannot
modify the environment variables that Apache puts in place if I'm not
mistaken, which is why I only rely on those environment variables, and
nothing else. So far, I've had a perfect success rate - my only issue is
with PHP since I can only track the domain by injecting it to the php config
as shown in the originally quoted email back many days ago.

I'm too lazy to be sure, but I would think that the CGI specified
environment variables shouldn't be deletable/changeable... But again,
haven't put much thought in to it.

You've described your ideas better now yes - no examples required any more
:)
