I'm sure that I'm adding the exact numer of "../" because I was able to retrive phpinfo.php and there I have the DOCUMENT_ROOT server variable...
It's under user Apache...but anyway...it is accessing the files for reading, and all users have priviledges to access the passwd file for reading...
thanks, Andy

I don't think it is under a chroot jail...I'm working with Apache 2.0.48 and PHP 4.3.4 and the real server has Apache 2.0.52 an PHP 4.3.9....
