You can download it from site's like linuxberg. The program makes it possible to give A users SOME rights to other files. Example: You can give user nobody rights to run a system file like init. From the console you can type "SUDO init" as NOBODY and you can shutdown the system. See the SUDO man pages for much more options and functions. I always use SUDO for this kind of work. > > Thank you very much for your help .... > > Alberto > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > I hope you this information is useful for you, Jeffrey Barendse
