note 61873 added to function.exec

(quoting rassehund) "Just find sudoers in your system and add there rights to NOBODY." This is, of course, a MAJOR security risk. You don't need sudo if you use it like that, you might just as well change permissions for all commands and paths. For remote server administration, if I don't use ssh, I would let root run cronjobs that look at configuration parameters which were set using a web interface, preferrably using a database (for comfort) and input checks (for security). The logging/status/statistical information that the cronjobs produce are also made available via a web interface. That way, you don't have to perforate your security mechanisms. And one more personal opinion: sudo isn't that safe anyway: ever tried "sudo bash" or "sudo vi"? I would avoid using it, if you get groups and permissions right, you are not going to need it. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 84.59.33.179 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61873 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61873&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61873&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
