Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> 2012-10-05 13:41:06 UTC --- If you are root, you can "become" another user from inside php: http://php.net/manual/en/function.posix-setuid.php However, beware the consequences. For instance, if the pid file was written as root, it may not be readable once the script runs as ordinary user. But... * why is it not sufficient to just call the script as a different user? * Why do you thing SGID is a security risk? SUID is, but SGID should be safe enough: http://www.library.yale.edu/wsg/docs/permissions/sgid.htm * SUID does not work on script files at all. * You should probably add www-data to the wikidata group (and/or vice versa?) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
