So I'm considering a small project that involves online file storage.
Let's say I wanted to set up a site that allows people to log-on,
create an account, and then have space to upload files.  The problem
I'm having concerns permissions, basically.

1) How do I automatically create users in Linux from a PHP script
running under Apache's uid/gid?


You can't.  You need to be running as root.


What about exec( some_script )? Where some_script could be run as root through sudo? It could be a Perl script or shell script that runs the appropriate commands to set up the user.

That's one way to do it.
