php script run a bash script located in usr/sbin -> how can I give root to this scrip

[bram7]

hey,

I want to use a php script to run a bash script located in usr/sbin.

You must have root access to run this script.

How can I run my php script (secure) with root access?

I want to use the exec() or system() function of php to run this script.

Can someone help me with this.

kind regards,

bram

You could always use the sticky bit to always have that program run as root - but that is a terrible security problem. Since the webserver is running as nobody (and therefore the php script should run as nobody also, check by calling "whoami") it will be hard to do otherwise I think.
