But how do you set it so a webuser would run sudo? That sounds pretty dangerous, to me. I have a similar situation where I want PHP to create a subdirectory and set privileges to it based on the login user. I end up having to create the directory by hand via SSH and then run the php script. Terry On Wednesday, May 23, 2001, at 12:36 PM, Jonathan Hilgeman wrote:
PHP runs via Apache, so it adopts the user that Apache uses, essentially. You can use a program like sudo to allow them to run certain commands on the server. Jonathan
