Was wondering if someone here would be able to help me with something.

I have a script on a linux machine that runs a program that accesses the
parallel port. It seems that I can only access the port as root. The problem
is I'd like to run the script as apache (in the cgi-bin).

I've tried setuid but that fails. Anyone know how I might open up hardware
access to user apache? Or how to get apache to run the script AS root?

Thanks, TTYL
