When I run "make install" as root, most of the files installed under /usr/local/include/php have a user id of 500, a group id of 500, and a mode of 664. This is very insecure for (hopefully) obvious reasons: it gives whichever user who has a numeric id of 500 write access to the files, and also any users in group 500.

Ideally, it should install the files with user id 0, group id 0, and a mode of 644.


Here is my configure line, in case it matters:

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.24 --enable-track-vars \
  --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-gd

Oops. This is Makefile issue, of course. 
'make install' should set these.
