It is a bit difficult having not seen a shred of Ethan's scripts'
actual output, and questionable actual content, but the snippet as
shown here is an absolute path specification, and thus php would not
go through it's load path to look for it:
<?php
$testpath = "/tmp/www";
$ipath = ini_get("include_path");
$ipaths = explode(":",$ipath);
if (!file_exists($ipaths[0].$testpath)) {
mkdir($ipaths[0].$testpath,0777,true);
}
file_put_contents($ipaths[0].$testpath."/testfile","This is the
searched version");
require($testpath."/testfile"); // note that the absolute path is given here

Thus, I would conclude that the file /var/www/pass.inc actually *did*
previously exist, but contained incorrect credentials, making the
require not complain, but the connect complain instead.
