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
