    What methods do you use to get protected ? What modules do you using Apache and php to get protected ?
    I`m interested because I tried suphp, disable_functions and suexec, nothing works. I can still read for example : /etc/passwd.
    Need your suggestions.

    You can forget about that, with a normal shell script, that`s very easy to bypass.

    You may wan to add dl. Also check out more of the File System functions. Also, open_basedir can at least be used to lock the PHP functions to a specific directory.

    Well, I did do something, now I can`t browse /home/, but thing is, I can still list /etc/passwd, and I think the only way to stop that is to stop the fopen function which is pretty much out of discussion.

    PS. I can list / too.
