If you have already installed WordPress and set up its database, you don't need to give your developer any system-wide rights at all. Just make him administrator of the WordPress site itself. If it's properly installed, he can then install plugins, themes, etc. from the WP GUI. If security is a concern (and it probably should be) you might consider sandboxing WorPress and having its MySQL instance be separate from any other MySQL uses on your server. Or maybe even putting it on its own virtual instance. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
