Hello,
I was searching for a way to run PHP setuid without having it as CGI
script (cause that one lets the load on a server skyrocket which
isn't
really much of a surprise cause it needs to load some 5MB interpreter
for each and every request for .php files) so I thought the only
other
solution would be to have an Apache, that setuid() to the owner of
the
file before PHP/CGI scripts are being run and so I found
http://www.snert.com/Software/Become/
and while the author points out all of the obvious problems it
creates, I'm
now wondering whether this could be a solution to stop the users from
being able to trash their neighbors news script that needs to be able
to write to some data file which they thus have to make chmod 666.

Any thoughts, feelings, comments?




Best regards,
 Gabriel
