Description:
------------
Running Apache 2.x and PHP 5.2

safe_mode = off

test case - using "<?php $cmd = 'ls /home'; shell_exec($cmd); ?>"
produces the error "ls: /home Permission denied"
using "<?php $cmd = 'ls /usr'; shell_exec($cmd); ?>" succeeds

(check the Apache error_log for errors)

However, both "/home" and "/usr" have the EXACT same permission and
ownership.

and Apache is running with "User owner" where "owner" is the owner of
the contents of "/home".  

Listing of both paths:

  8 drwxr-xr-x   15 root   root    4096 Jun 24  2005 usr
  8 drwxr-xr-x    5 root   root    4096 Jan  8  2007 home

Shell is "/bin/bash" and it looks like:

764 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 772760 Dec  6  2004 /bin/bash


Any ideas?

Reproduce code:
---------------
Test cases:
FAIL:

<?php
$cmd = 'ls /home';
echo "<pre>".shell_exec($cmd)."</pre>";
?>

SUCCESS:
<?php
$cmd = 'ls /usr';
echo "<pre>".shell_exec($cmd)."</pre>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Listing of files:

SUCCESS result:

bin
etc
games
include
kerberos
lib
lib64
libexec
local
sbin
share
src
tmp
X11R6


Actual result:
--------------
For FAIL above (no results).
