filepro and file permissions

[Dan Coutu]

Well, that is what I'm trying to see if I can avoid doing. As system
security tightens up the ability to use chmod to change permissions on
files has become more restricted. I've found that if I'm using a web
form that sends data to a process run by user apache that executes a
filepro command (as user filepro) then the system() call running chmod
tries to execute as the true process owner of apache. Because the file
that I'm trying to chmod has an owner of filepro (rather than apache)
the chmod fails.

This is aggravating, to say the least. The alternatives of reducing
system security are not attractive.

Thanks though!
