In this sample we will see
how to call an external cgi into a php script
and include the result as a part of the page

Let's try to get root privileges from php via cgi
to disable a samba user

Note: Security of your system may be
weak if you don't add aditional security to
this sample.

step one we need to create a cgi in this case
in c
----------File: desah.c--------------
----------------BOF------------------

<?php
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(
getenv("QUERY_STRING")!=NULL)
 
//argv[1] for command line
{
 
char cmd[200]="/usr/local/bin/smbpasswd -d -U ";
 
char *usuario;
 
char postarg[50]=">/dev/null";
 
strcpy(usuario,getenv("QUERY_STRING"));
 
strcat(cmd,usuario);
 
strcat(cmd,postarg);
 
setuid(0);
 
setgid(0);
 
system(cmd);
}
printf("Content-type: text/plain\n\n");
printf("<html><body> User:");
printf("%s",getenv("QUERY_STRING"));
printf(" Disabled</body></html>");
exit(
0);
}
-------------
EOF----------------------
compile the file
%gcc desah.c -o disable.cgi
Put the proper execution mode on the file
Must be executable
for web server user
%ls -l disable.cgi
%-rwxr-xr-wx
become super user on your system
%su
and add sticky bit to the cgi
#chmod +s disable.cgi     (FreeBSD style)
put your cgi into the web server cgi-bin directory

now we need a php
interface to control the cgi

?>
<html>
<body>
<form name="cgiMgr" action="<?=$PHP_SELF;?>">
<input type="text" name="usrlogin"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Disable User">
</form>
<?
if ($usrlogin!="")
{
  include (
"http://your.server.ip.or.dns.name/cgi-bin/disable.cgi?$usrlogin");
}

</
body>
</
html>
?>
