Ok, I am trying to make a Control Pannel for my free webhosting thing that I run. I want it to be able to add users, and modify files, and all kinds of things like that. The way I am thinking of doing this is to use PHP Exec. (Any other ides are welcome)
What I want to know is what kind of security problems might arise by running Apache as root. The content on the server would be directly controlled by me, no users would be able to put anything on it, so it would only be the control pannel.
If that is not a good idea, what other options are their for me?
Thanks alot.
