are exact copies of the files you want to edit. Then have a root cron job

Hi. Many things. I am trying to create a web hosting control panel, so I'll
need to be able to update Zone files, add email accounts, etc. All of which
require the user to be "root" How can php do this? How do I get the scripts
to be able to have root permissions?
