To the php team : what do you think about this feature ?
Now that safe_mode is disabled, how hosting companies can protect consumers
from
themselves ?

A Patch for this problem is available here:

This Option would be very nice, even if it decreases performance (if this
decrease is optional)

Description:
------------
By bow we have safe_mode_exec_dir
working (and good) for shared hosting, only if SAFE_MODE enabled.
But often, SAFE_MODE need to be turned off. After this
safe_mode_exec_dir is nothing. So we need to disable some funtions
(system,passthru,...). But it can be done only for _ALL_ hosts. So if one host
use "system()" in "safe_mode 1" to one or two special programs and happy - i
can't turn SAFE_MODE 0 for other hosts. It's became realy danger - sometimes
users have unsecure scripts and by using 'blah.php?f=http://somethere...'
intruder can get nobody shell. Nobody shell mean - He can read mysql password
in config.php or settings.php files. He also can install blindshell.
So maybe good to add 'exec_dir' variable for working in 'safe_mode 0' ?
Reproduce code:
---------------
none needed
