If the shell assigned to user 'apache' is "/bin/false", can user apache become other users via su or sudo? What I want to do is create a web-based website editor, similar to the one geocities.com offers. I need a way to store the website editor in a central location where it will be available to all users, but the users need to be able to save the files they create/edit in their own web space (in this case under ~/webspace/html). I want the users to be able to log in with their Linux usernames and passwords. I"ve written to a couple of PHP lists about this, but none of them have answered me. Is there anything in portage that will do this, so I don't have to write it myself? I've waded through a lot of descriptions of scripts other people have written, but none of them seemed to allow authenticating against the users and passwords already established on the system...
