hi linuxers,


            I want to run some scripts using
apache/php which would require root permissions. So
how do i use SuExec mechanism of apache in php to gain
root permissions. I would prefer examples. All replies
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

DON'T!! doing that is probably the most hacker friendly thing you can do
short of a written, gold-embossed invitation.

just don't, please
