If you don't want ''Hint for MikTeX users:''' The counterpart to take this security risk with all TeX code on your system<tt>texmf.cnf</tt> was <tt>miktex.ini</tt>, you might like to consider the following change to now the appropriate line in config is [[texexechttp://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/runtimeparams.inihtml stored separately for each program]]:
<pre>for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context -shell-escape</pre>= Location and priority of texmf.cnf files ==
(If yours is a non-tetex systemAssuming that you have your distribution in /usr/local/texlive/2008, choose the appropriate linefollowing texmf. If there cnf files are other options present, like <tt>--default-translate-file=cp8bit</tt>, then don't delete them!read (in this order)if they exist:
This will enable <tt>\write18<# /tt> support per <tt>texexec<usr/tt> job, and not systemlocal/texlive/2008/bin/x86_64-widelinux/texmf. An administrator would therefore only have to worry about malicious ConTeXt code, and not about other TeX systems runningcnf# /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/texmf. With the second modification, you can leave the <tt>shell_escape<cnf# /usr/local/texlive/2008/tt> line in <tt>texmf.cnf<# /tt> commented outusr/falselocal/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
'''Hint for MikTeX users:''' Variables you set in a particular file are *not* overwritten by fileswhich are read later. The counterpart default is (4). If you have to <tt>customize texmf.cfg<cnf, the best thingyou can do is to put only the variables you want to change into (3). (1) is quite useful for system dependent configuration. Onmulti-platform installations you could create a file/usr/local/texlive/2008/tt> is <tt>miktexbin/win32/texmf.ini<cnf on the server whichcontains the single line OSFONTDIR = $SystemRoot/Fonts and this only affects Windows clients, even if (3) contains the line OSFONTDIR = /usr/share/tt>fonts.
