How can I implement forum privileges
I've started developing a forum application in PHP on my MVC Framework and I've got to the stage where I assign permissions to members (for example: READ, WRITE, UPDATE, DELETE).

C Privilege Escalation (With Password)
Hey everyone, I need to write a C program that will allow me to read/write files that are owned by root. However, I can only run the code under another user. I have the root password, but there are no "sudo" or "su" commands on the system, so I have no way of accessing the root account (there are practically no shell commands whatsoever...

File permissions question
If I need a php-page to have access to upload images and move images from a folder on the server, what permissions would I set on the folder then? I know we have "Owner", "Group", and "Others".

Is my understanding correct, that in FaceBook development I can request application permissions (for user data, posting to his wall etc.) in 2 ways by using some static permission-requesting fb-tags in html code or by using facebook JavaScript libraries/objects for dealing with permissions? If so, are these ways serving the same purp...

However, ...

Cannot upload media via Wordpress uploader
This has to do with media uploading in Wordpress. Every time WP creates a folder for new uploads (it organizes uploads by year and month: yyyy/mm), it creates it with the "apache:apache' user and group, with full access to all (777 or drwxrwxrwx). However, after that, WP cannot create a folder within that folder (e.g.: mkdir 2011 suc...
