Hi James

Thanks for you comments, its a fair call.

All I could add at this stage is that you have to login to Pyrite to be able
to do any editing of the php.ini files and you can configure Pyrite to only
work via Locahost and not remote connections. It is also true that you do
need write permissions to the php.ini file and I would hope that Apache is
setup to use a non-root account but with privileges to write to the
php.inifile.

I could deff use an extra pair of eyes over the code to make sure the app is
as secure as humanly possible... interested?

Best
Zac
