Is There A Way To Block Direct Cpanel Login
Jan 24, 2007
I use a login script on my hosting site. and i was wondering if there was any way or any program that would allow me to Block people from going mydomain.com then cpanel?
And forcing them to go to my site to use the cpanel login script on my website?
Im sure that if there was a way to disable Cpanel login it would aslo block the scipt on my site.
Is there a solution to my little perdicament here?
Any software or scripts that do what im looking for?

im able to login to root via SU perfectly
One problem: All my old files and folders are owned by ROOT so that means my SU account named XXX cant edit/add/delete anything from my SFTP because of folder/file permission.
Is there anyway my SUDO(wheel) account can still edit these files own by ROOT?

hen@xx.xx.xx.xx's password:
Last login:

su: incorrect password
I verified that root password is correct, but no matter how many times I tried, I can't su in
Where's my su permission
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24060 Mar 22 2007 /bin/su*

I tried to disable direct root login but had to struggle to find step-by-step instructions and have written the steps one needs to follow to disable direct root login.
This is an additional security measure where we prevent direct root logins and instead create a user to login and then use a command ‘su –‘ to gain root privileges.
The only risk in this procedure is that you may prevent root login but forget to add the user to the wheel group - effectively locking yourself out of the system.
Follow the steps below and you will not face a problem.
STEP 1: Let us create a user and add it to the wheel group.
For e.g. we want to create a user neonix and give him root privileges.
SSH into your server as root and follow the below commands to create a user.
groupadd neonix
useradd neonix –gneonix
passwd neonix
enteryouruserpasswordhere
verifyyouruserpasswordhere
// Please note -g in the second line
// You can replace neonix with any username of your choice.
STEP 2: Add user to wheel group.
Use your browser to Login to your WHM panel and click on Manage Wheel Group Users.
You will see the user you just added (neonix). Select the user and click ‘Add to group’.
You will see that the user has been added –
Users Currently in the wheel group root,neonix
You have successfully added a user to the 'wheel' group who will be able to 'su -' to root.
LOGOUT OF SSH
Before we disable root login, let us check if the user can login and su – to gain root privileges.
SSH into your server as 'neonix'
Login as: neonix
Password : enteryouruserpasswordhere
su –
password: enter root password here
You have successfully logged in and have root privileges. Now let us disable root login.
STEP 3: Disable Direct Root Login
(The below steps are from webhostgear.com)
1. Copy and paste this line to edit the file for SSH logins
pico -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config
2. Find the line
Protocol 2, 1
3. Uncomment it (Remove #) and change it to look like
Protocol 2
4. Next, find the line
PermitRootLogin yes
5. Uncomment it (Remove #) and make it look like PermitRootLogin no
6. Save the file Ctrl+X then Y then enter
7. Now you can restart SSH
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
Now, no one will be able to login to root with out first logging in as 'neonix' and 'su -' to root, and you will be forcing the use of a more secure protocol.
Just make sure you remember both passwords!

I was worry about which is more seucre to login to the server
disabling the direct login and using the public key (ssh-dss) with 2084 bit length ?
or use the direct login?
and if the public key is more secure , should we use passphrase when generating the key? or no?

Currently I have a server that has direct root SSH access disabled (have to login as regular user then su to root), but I am currently working on setting up authentication via SSH keys, but I can't seem to get it working with direct root SSH access disabled? Is this normal, and if so is there anyway to work around it?
Basically I'd like to be able to authenticate both ways; both with SSH keys or by logging in as a regular user and su to root.

Just got a new additional VPS with WHM/cPanel.
Browse to www.mydomain.com/webmail and get login box > login accepted and taken to Horde/Squirrelmail choice screen > choose Squirrelmail and get login box ... login not accepted! > Retry and choose Horde ... login not accepted!
The login is correct and the results are the same when logging in as root, or through /cPanel or /Webmail.

I don't start a CPanel vs DA war, but need to get a "what might be different" list re a VPS.
When I got my present VPS (moved from shared hosting) I had it initially set up with DA. All my previous experience had been with CP on my shared hosting account, but I had read about CP being a bit of a resource hog.
When I tried to set up my VPS, I got it wrong. I ended up with 2 instances of "mymainsite.com" on the server. I got so confused talking with support and their UNIX lingo, that I had them switch to CPanel.
I'm probably going to move to another host and thinking of using DA to save RAM.
I'm not a reseller of hosting, just have 20+ small to very small sites. I have a number of mySQL databases that get a fair number of queries. I have 1 vBulletin app but the traffic on that site is VERY low.
So what will I need to learn differently in DA?
-cron jobs
-parked domains
-migrating sites
-backing up sites

We are being required to turn off all non-ssl logins to our server. I have turned on ssl redirection, but that only works when access by domain.
if a user types in the direct port number either http://domain.com:2086
or http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2086
they can still get access to the non-ssl login page.
I need to be able to disable all port access to non-ssl login pages for ports 2086,2082 and 2095.
My servers are running CSF+LFD and i have tried removing the ports from the configuration, but i still can gain access.

I have someone on my server that is having problems login to Cpanel and WHM.
They can view all websites on the server even theirs, but they cannot login.
They keep getting: Firefox cannot establish a connection with the server.
Even in IE they get a error message.
They even tried with "theirdomain.com/cpanel" and got the same thing.
They are using a rounter also, so I told them to try unhooking that, but my main question is, it doesn't seem that their IP is blocked as I checked, so is there anything else on the server that could cause this or is it something on their end?
