Ryan,
I had to do this to get my x10 flipit script to run. the solution is to
use sudo. basically, you run visudo and specify which users can run which
commands as root.
You're suggesting that you would allow apache sudo access, correct? So
wouldn't any user on your system then be able to create a script using
sudo to gain root privileges? That would be bad, methinks.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something?
Shouldn't there be a safer way? Some sort of configuration with which
you could specify a particular script can run as root rather than the
whole webserver.
