Re: Urgent Help, please! SOLVED
Well thanks to all of you guys, I've solved my problem. However even with vpopmail support built into PHP it didn't work out 'cause permissions where not set right. I solved this way: I setuid che vpopmail scripts. (not all of them just vadduser and vmoduser) Don't know if it's correct but it works for me :) Best regards, Guyver

This perl script creates a new user , it does NOT need to be SUID. Only a
script that created a NEW Domain would need to be suid. I have that
available if you need it. My apache runs as user vpopmail.
I am not a qualified perl programmer, so I offer no security with this
script.

This is one of the reason Ken created the API for vpopmail. Sean Wow, that sounds very interesting, could you please be more specific about it? I absolutely have to finish the script by tomorrow... :( So basically I should recompile my PHP simply adding --with-vpopmail=/home/vpopmail ?? I've checked the Inter7 website but there's nothing about it (or at least nothing that I could find) except on the Admin Guide I found a piece of text regarding vpopmail API but I thought it was only for C programs... am I wrong? It says there is a library at ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a that is linkable with C programs how do I link it to PHP? Thanks again for your patience. Best regards, Guyver
Re: Urgent Help, please!
Guyver, I am sorry I can't write the script for you.. Just configure PHP with --with-vpopmail (Should find the directory automatically) compile PHP and Apache Again.. and Look at the vpopmail.h and vauth.h for the callable functions and there parameters.

Re: Urgent Help, please!
Brandon, No you can run it as any user.. I believe the vpopmail API takes care of the user problem..

PHP scripts are parsed, not executed. Setuid is useless with PHP. The only thing I can think of is to make your web server run as root or vpopmail (NOT recommended) or turn the PHP script into a perl script or C program and make it setuid-vpopmail. -- Brandon Ramirez UnrealHost Head System Administrator www.unrealhost.net - Original Message - From: Sean C Truman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tren Blackburn [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Sean O'Dea' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'The Guyver' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 2:56 PM Subject: Re: Urgent Help, please!
