I'm not using sudo with root. The problem is that the php script forks a process using sudo.
Such as the php script:
<?


exec("sudo /usr/local/bin/setpassword $uid $pass");

?>

Thanks any way.

Seems to me, then, that you should have "apache" as the user in the sudoers file, now root...httpd, and by extension, PHP, run as user apache.

Bleah...that should have read "not root...". Sorry. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org
