When having users allowed to run php scripts I found that the webserver being able to read the home-directorys, it allows users to run commands like system("cat /home/auser/connectdb.inc"); as the webserver, thus, all users being able to run scripts can browse eachothers home-directories and finding database-passwords.. how do i get around this?
