Re: [PHP] Root Commands From: Adam Voigt (adam <email protected>)
Date: 02/20/03

Check out "sudo", with man pages or what not, you use
the command "visudo" to define who can run what commands
as root. And then in your php, you just do:

exec("sudo adduser");

With whatever parameters you need to adduser.
