#24122 [WFx]: disable posix extension by default

ID: 24122 User updated by: holliwell at gmx dot net Reported By: holliwell at gmx dot net Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Unix/Linux PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: sure _I_know those switches, but there are many isps out with posix enabled (just by accident), what might be a security risk in shared web environments (see the docs for the warnings). And just because they are enabled by default. So the question is still, why should posix be enabled by default? Is there any _good_ reason? I thought the logik should be the other way round, especially for posix functions. Few people use them, they are risky and they should be only enabled with a good reason in mind. Disabling posix by default doesn't harm anyone, imho.

Why should this be enabled by default, I don't know any reason.
