mycp runs setuid to the owner of the local /home/username/public_html
directory. mycp is installed inside that public_html.


A *PHP* upload script deposits the uploaded file in /tmp/
The *PHP* at the top of the previous post invokes `mycp` with a system
call,
which copies the recently uploaded file in /tmp/ to the local_public
html.....so the copied file belongs to the local owner (as specified)
and so public_html DOES NOT REQUIRE 777 permissions, as originally
specified. That was the requirement, no?
