After doing authentication we can retrieve the username using PHP_AUTH_USER
wish to determin what that user's home directory is on the server from within PHP... obviously working the 'pw usershow '.$PHP_AUTH_USER through exec results in permission problems (web uid not allowed to run PW for obvious reasons)... and shelling out to a script results in similar setuid restrictions... again for obvious reasons. thoughts?
