Safe Mode appears to be on, it says its on for local and master via phpinfo() script. I can virtual include /etc/passwd and it will shows the contents of the file. However, "some" function appear to be blocked by safe mode.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Safemode prevents PHP from opening files owned by a user different from the one PHP is running as. If you /etc/passwd is owned by root and your PHP runs as root safe_mode will not stop PHP from opening the file.

PHP is NOT ran by root in this case, and the /etc/passwd is owned by root.
