Perhaps this gets more into server administration, but it is mixed so much 
into the php script, which is why I am asking it here.

Yes, sudo was one of my first thoughts.  As far as the implementation goes 
though.  How do you work the remote access bit?  Using ssh do you use the 
ssl cert switch so that the www user can shell into a remote machine?  Or 
does the sudo process actually make www the root user for a certain command 
and can then shell into a remote machine using the root ssl cert?  Or can 
sudo make www into a user that can shell into a remote machine?  I am still 
becoming familiar with sudo.

Thanks,
Jonathan
