Don't forget that in PHP you have access to chown(), chgrp(), and 
chmod() -- You can change the files' permissions or uid/guid just after 
you create them.

If the AGIs do run as root:wheel, then there should be no problem, 
because they should be able to access the db files?


<?php
        $u = posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid());
        $g = posix_getgrgid(posix_getgid());
        echo "This script is running as ".$u['name'].":".$g['name'];
?>
