I don't have much experience in it myself but I've seen it working .. Where you should be looking is not really PHP but more the Apache "suexec" wrapper/module. You can then specify a user and group in your VirtualHost section.

All the recent talk about exec got me thinking that I could set something up to automatically create user mailboxes under qmail + vmailmgr. I normall do this via the command line by running 'vadduser' while I'm su'ed to the owner of the virtual host. So basically, to do this via php, I would need to su to the owner of the vhost inside of the script, run the command, and exit out of the su. Can this be done? -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
