Re: Re: run remote shell script

OK. I am able to setup remote key authentication between svrA and svrB. From svrA I can login to svrB with something like
[www@svrA www]$ ssh www@svrB

and I can also execute a shell script like
[www@svrA www]$ ssh www@svrB /tmp/test.sh

On svrA I have a PHP script like so:
<?
system('ssh www@svrB /tmp/test.sh someDIR');
?>

/tmp/test.sh on svrB is only a one liner like so:
mkdir /tmp/$1

I ran the script from the browser but the /tmp/someDIR is not created :(
Could it be that user nobody on svrA is *not* allowed to connect to svrB because the public key belongs to user www ? How do I rectify this ?

In the actual situation, I need to execute a shell script in svrB (from browser served by Apache on svrA) that only root can run. Please advise. I am getting very worried.
