Whichever user is running the Interchange daemon should own the cgi 
(tlink/vlink) and that cgi needs to be set chmod u+s  (SetUID bit set on 
user).  Setting u-s will remove it, which is incorrect (I certainly don't 
believe that the documentation told you to do that).  It does not have to 
be "interch", it could be anything except root or nobody (for example).

This should be well covered in the documentation.  I think you should give 
it a re-read.
