I'm growing increasingly concerned about the security of using PHP3. As a test, I logged in as one of my clients, FTP'ed up a test.php3 that simply did this: <? include "/etc/passwd" ?> and of course my passwd fine came on screen.. So obviously anyone can read anyone elses stuff.. I don't like this. Is there any way that I can tell Apache to only allow php3 execution for my domain and none of my clients? Or can I tell it not to touch anything outside of a specific directory? The "security" section isn't too helpful.
