Looks like you're in safe_mode with passthru listed in the disable_functions
option.

Can't he use ini_set() to get around it?

No, read the manual page, particularly the disable_functions entry.

If you could disable safe_mode features from within a script, what would be
the point in having safe_mode in the first place?
