From time to time all the POP3 user mailboxes get their password reset and users can't access their mail. I have to go in and manually reset each users password.
Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
I am gonna host a multi-platform website from my home server soon. My home server is basically IIS7 on Windows server 2008. However , I am currently experimenting with IIS7 on vista business .Unfortunalely I have experimented so much that I need to reset IIS7 to default settings.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI configured WebDisk on my webhost (via cPanel) and it works great on one computer but with the other there is a slight problem:
When the password was first entered it was mistyped, saved somewhere (I have no idea where, that's what I am trying to find out) and now whenever I try to connect I receive an error:

I tried to reset the password via Internet Explorer (Tools | Options) but that cleared other passwords, not the WebDisk one.
Any idea how to reset that password (on Windows, the client side)?
We've had a customer do something strange to their server. They were playing with /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow or similar (not quite sure of the details) but the upshot is booting the server into single user and trying to reset the password via passwd gives
passwd root (and any user)
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
So far I've
Replaced /etc/passwd* and /etc/shadow* with a copy from another server
Turned off SeLinux
/etc/pam.d/passwd is fine
Root file system is r/w

What causes the firewall to change / reset itself periodically? I enabled the plesk firewall, but some time later it is reset itself and switched to the opensuse firewall (completely different rule set, which blocks most of the ports).
I then disabled the plesk firewall and loaded my own iptables rule set via iptables-restore command. However a few hours later, it also gets reset to the opensuse firewall. The std. opensuse firewall closes most of the ports, so then our email is blocked.
I would like to permanently switch off any plesk handling of the firewall and manage the iptables myself. How to do this?
I also have fail2ban running and defined my own jail.local files.
From what I can tell the vhosts on my Plesk Panel keep resetting (I think around once a day), all my webstatistics (AWStats) begin to 404 and I have a Wordpress installed in the root of a domain which is now displaying the "Web Server's Default Page" (any sub-directory of the Wordpress install gives a 404 such as the wp-admin directory). The way I've fixed this temporarily is to run "%plesk_cli%
epair.exe" --update-vhosts-structure. I do not see any errors or warnings in the event viewer or log files.
On another note is there a way to increase the logging for event viewer to include more than just errors (such as informational) to make it easier to track down issues?
I have a VPS (ConetOS 4.4, OpenVZ), it all works fine, however on reboot, the resolv.conf gets reset to some nameservers that are no longer in use, How do I change this so after a reboot it uses the nameservers I am using now?
My current resolv.conf looks like this:
nameserver 85.234.133.209
nameserver 85.234.144.209

I have found through the KB the way to do it server wide but I was wondering if there was still a way to reset default domain permissions per domain.

Access_log and error_log are being rotated around 10AM daily for my server.
But for busy days access_log and error_log gets very big to inspect. Is there any way that I can manually reset the logs for the time being but without changing the daily rotation time?
way to set up a user in passwd/shaddow to use no passwords. Not looking for keypair authentication or any authentication. just the abulity to run ssh <host> and I'm in.
Why - you might ask would I want something with no security? Because the shell that they are going to run is going to lock their IP out. This is a trap for SSH hackers allowing them to log in with any password/no password and immediately drop into something that runs iptables to kill their IP instantly. So I'll create a number of dummy accounts with names hackers try and it's a trap.
I'm planning on buying my first domain in order to host various sites of mine in one place. I like the idea of subdomains to separate them, but I was wondering... Is it possible to access different subdomains using different passwords? I'm planning to let a friend of mine use a subdomain to host a site of hers that's related to mine, and I'd like it if she had the security of a different password. I just want to know if I can even do this, and if so, what hosts offer this option?

Is there any reasonably priced one-time password system that we can use to secure SSH and access to internal systems? We'd like something with a keychain device that will generate the password.
I'm very frustated 'cause i found a "****.txt" into my root directoriy of my server with a lot of usernames and passwords (24Mb)

I have about 7 hosting accounts, am a member of over 60 forums and have many other services that require passwords. Generally, I use the same or similar password. However, recently I have been getting more and more hacking of my sites going on and I worry if it is due to my password "system" (or lack of).
How do you go about creating your passwords, and remembering them?
This is probably a long shot, but is there a workaround way to be able to edit passwords for addon domains in cPanel 11? Apparently you can only manage redirection or remove: ...
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday we received an email saying that the admin password for the server had been changed by them and that we should log in and change the password again ourselves.
49pence have provided no explanation as to why the password was changed and despite multiple requests have refused to give any kind of explanation. I've also asked to speak to a manager and this request was denied (well, more ignored and I was given the same line that they cannot disclose why they changed a customers' password).
And now after creating a Joomla! site for a school that will be moving to my server from a local small isp that doesn't have a control panel (just a screen to allow users to set-up their email name and pwd) I'm stuck with trying to figure out how to set up their email accounts with their current password.
There are about 40 accounts that I can add manually, but when I change the nameservers, these teachers and staff are going to be at a loss as what to do; like I am at the moment.
I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
I got up today, went to check my emails and received invalid passwords on all my email accounts. I then went to check in the CPanels and get the same error when I try to login.
Then I try the root and same thing!
BUT all my linked FTP accounts work and the sites are online and working. One is giving a 500 error (cgi program) but besides that, they are all online w/ no changes.
My "host want to do a OS reinstall and let me try and restore my sites from a slave drive. I think thats stupid and shouldnt be needed.
They also automatically say I was hacked...Sure a hacker changed all the cpanel and email passwords but worked it so the linked FTP accounts would work and didnt take any sites offline.
I have setup a test server at home, Datacenter edition 2008.
Now, is there a way to allow only a certain username and password combination to access an FTP session/site?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a big problem on my server.
From 1 week until now I got 4 spam attacks. The attacker is the same, because the emails sent are iqual.
The technique is also the same, they use an email account (compromissed password) and send emails through smtp server.
When I detect the attack, i do:
1. identify the compromised account
2. Change password from the compromised account
3. Stop qmail
4. Clear queue with qmail-remove
5. Start qmail
The problem is that they already used 4 diferent domains since the first attack. So, here is my problem, how do they discover the passwords?! How can I solve this problem? I have hundreds of emails accounts and can't change it all.
CentOS release 5.10 (Final)
Plesk 11.0.9
Why can i login with two different passwords for the user admin in plesk control panel?
