The Unix way is for each user (and that could mean a person or a daemon) is given only the minimum privileges needed to do what is necessary. That goes for yourself as well -- it just takes some getting used to set privileges in areas that are appropriate and to need to need to login to so something outside your normal privileges.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:yea and one of the biggest reasons for making the switch is to learn all about linux so that when we get a linux box at my work and start hosting our own site, I will know how to administrate it (or at least help administrate it). I should probably learn these things, but for now I need to work on some php stuff so I need to have read/write access to the files and I need to do it the easy way.
