Hi,
I suggest you using a bash script using setuidgid/sudo properly. You can
transfer all the needed parameters to it from php :) I use something
like
this in one of my servers to check passwords:
#! /bin/sh
password=`sudo -u root setuidgid vpopmail /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] | grep clear | awk '{print $3}'`
if [ $password = $3 ]; then
exit 0
else
exit 1
fi
The /etc/sudoers file is:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
www-data ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/setuidgid vpopmail
/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo [a-zA-Z0-9]*@ [a-zA-Z0-9]*
You can, of course, modify that in order to get users added :) If you
still want
to directly create/modify users or gather info about them, you must use
calls to
the mysql database of vpopmail.
