If I run the script as root everything works. But as a normal user, it is broken.

I have FUDforum running in the apache context so
all the scripts directory have just that without
any execute permissions.

-rw------- 1 apache apache 3640 Mar 8 16:36 forum_login.php
-rw------- 1 apache apache 37400 Mar 8 16:36 fudapi.inc.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 37 Mar 8 16:36 GLOBALS.php -> /var/www/FUDforum/include/GLOBALS.php
-rw------- 1 apache apache 19281 Mar 15 15:42 maillist.php
-rw------- 1 apache apache 2726 Mar 15 15:43 nntp.php
-rw------- 1 apache apache 15488 Mar 8 16:36 rdf_parser.php
-rw------- 1 apache apache 308 Mar 8 16:36 README
-rw------- 1 apache apache 6394 Mar 15 15:43 xmlagg.php

To get it to actually run from procmail I had to change
the maillist.php file to be read+execute for all.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 19281 Mar 15 15:42 maillist.php

But that leads to other permission errors.
------------------
PHP Warning: require(/var/www/FUDforum/scripts/GLOBALS.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php on line 352
PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/FUDforum/scripts/GLOBALS.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/FUDforum/scripts/maillist.php on line 352
---------------------------------
Powered by: FUDforum 3.0.0.
RedHat 5.4
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2
mailman-2.1.9-4.el5
php-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5

from webinstall package - FUDforum_web_install_3.0.0.zip downloaded from sourceforge.net

I can change the other file permissions that will allow others
to read all the settings and gain direct access to the databases.

What is the best way to configure the maillist import process in
light of these permission problems?
