Re: Root Commands

Check out "sudo", with man pages or what not, you use the command "visudo" to define who can run what commands as root. And then in your php, you just do: exec("sudo adduser"); With whatever parameters you need to adduser.

The problem that I seem to have is that the form is trying to give the commands as user 'nobody' and they need to be given by either root or a superuser. Is there any way to accomplish this? If somebody were to point me in the direction of a tutorial on this subject I would really appreciate it.
