This is all great resources. Thanks and I'll follow up with the results.
Another thought was to only make the sudoers file accessible to php and not
add php as a sudo user. If/when the script was run, I could have php write
to sudoers to add itself. Then when the script was done it could rewrite
again and remove itself. The benefit would be that it can only add itself
as a sudo user (and not any other user) whereas if I grant php sudo access
anyone hacking php could create a user and give it sudo access too.
Definitely not perfect, just one extra layer perhaps.
