The problem has nothing to do with Apache. The user that the Apache process is running as does not have access to those files. You need to either open up the permissions on /sbin to more users (probably not a good idea), or change who Apache runs as (not really a terribly good idea either), or make some custom commands that do what you want, but can only be run by Apache, and only with arguments that you have very carefully specified (rather difficult). Or you could go with security-by-obscurity model and make private versions of the commands that can only be read and run by the Apache user. -- Kee Hinckley - Somewhere.Com, LLC http://consulting.somewhere.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
