After doing authentication we can retrieve the username using PHP_AUTH_USER
wish to determin what that user's home directory is on the server from within
PHP... obviously working the
'pw usershow '.$PHP_AUTH_USER
through exec results in permission problems (web uid not allowed to run PW for
obvious reasons)... and shelling out to a script results in similar setuid
restrictions... again for obvious reasons.
thoughts?
