Per-directory, that is.

The guy that hosts me has a problem where someone else that he hosts views his board config.inc.php file to get the database password. By the logs, he uses PHP to do it. So, is there any way to stop this behaviour? He doesn't have access to the PHP configuration, BTW. And the hosting company does not want to globally disable it.

His privilege to upload things via FTP has been taken away, but he can still hand files to the admin to be placed on the server, after examination of the file, of course. (If it were up to me, I would've kicked him off completely, but it's not up to me)

if you mean disabling the highlight_file()/highlight_string() functions, it's not possible as far as I know, short of modifying the source code of PHP itself and recompiling it, which doesn't appear to be an option in your situation.

Can't you just CHMod the log in order so he can't have read access to it?

He's not looking at the logs, the board configuration. CHMODing them to prevent read access would also prevent anyone from viewing and using the board.

check this out: "suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners. It consists of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and a setuid root binary (suphp) that is called by the Apache module to change the uid of the process executing the PHP interpreter. " http://www.suphp.org/Home.html

or also try "chroot jail" in google
