not planning to try it, but i have a few questions when looking at the source code...


1. do you have to change ownership to all files to root when u run the script? cuz if you don't, the script can't add user account since 'root' is the only user that can add users...

If I change all the scripts to root, then i think apache will not work with root user...

2. ALSO, i see the script edit shadow or passwd file, is this dangerous? If something screw up, the whole system passwd will mess up and you can't even login as root again.


I am writing one for my computer school project, but I use named pipe to do all these. :angel:

You're writing a control panel for your school project?

umm no idea sorry

Yes, what's wrong? :stickout

I found out that root doesn't work with apache if I use suEXEC...

nothing wrong, good luck Yupapa!

It is just a small one...

It has a web-based filemanager, change passwd, disk usage detail.. AND the admin panel can monitor proccess, edit/delete user and FTP Accounts, etc...
+ a sign up script...

this thing is smiliar to the homefree script (http://solutionscripts.com/vault/homefree_pro/), BUT mine requires root access and can create FTP accounts...

I think the homefree script runs as apache, so I think all accounts created by the script are owned by the same user (apache)...

Good luck YUPAPA with your control panel. Maybe someday it'll be the next CPanel/WHM :P
