Php initializes extensions as root

[Jose da Silva]

Hi there people,

I'm having a problem, i've designed an php extension, that uses shared
memory iteraction.

Altought, Php is initializing the extension as root, leaving the shared
memory with wrong permissions, as is created as root process.

Is there any way to initialize extensions, not as root?

Thanks
Jose Silva

A simple solution would be to do the allocation in PHP_RINIT().

probably not if you want to listen on reserved ports.

Maybe I'm being dim here, but why not set the permissions with the mode
parameter when you create the shm (I assume you're using shm_open) ?
