Running mount from PHP

Hi,

I'm trying to run /bin/mount and /sbin/mount.cifs from a PHP page.

So, I´ve added this to /etc/sudoers:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cmnd_Alias CMD_MOUNT = /bin/mount
Cmnd_Alias CMD_CIFS ) = /sbin/mount.cifs

nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_MOUNT
nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: CMD_CIFS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem is that I need to run it from PHP and in this way, it doesn't mount..

I'm using PHP's exec function:
exec(sudo mount -t cifs ...)

I have the ownership and permissions of the mount point set correctly.

As it is a dynamic application, the mount point always changes
(/mnt/user1, /mnt/user2, etc.), so, /etc/fstab is not an option :(

Any ideas ?

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

Which user are you running your script with? wwwrun?


/Per Jessen, Zürich

Try to do folowing
write shell script
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/hdb /home/mountpoint

then write C code

int main(){
system ("mount.sh");
return 0;
}

then compile C code
gcc main.c -o wrapper

then chmod :

# chmod a+s wrapper

and do from php:

system ('wrapper');
