phpsuexec also allows php to run under YOUR username (that is, the username that you login to FTP with). This means, if your php script happens to create any files, or- upload any files, say pictures, or text files, you don't have to make them world writable, and thus makes it more secure. I have a flat file website, which means if I want it dynamic, I need every bit of my site world writable. every so often, someone on the server would have a big gaping security hole, and it would be taken advantage of. The result? all my world writable files get this nice little porn link in them. Grand!
IT'S THE END OF nobody/99 and the beginning of revolution!
