Recommend An ISP For Webspace? (need Php + Mysql + Root SSH Access)
cheap-ish place to host a PROTOTYPE website. We're going to need php + mysql, but we're going to need to have more control such as root SSH access.
Here is the list of what we need to start with:
SSH access
PHP 5
Java
MYSQL 4 or 5
Apache 2
SendMail
Any ISP recommendations?
For now this is just a prototype, and it will NOT get hammered with
traffic. But we do need an outfit that is efficient and reliable.

Disabling SSH Root Access But Enabling SSH Keys How To Do That
in order to secure my server against instrusion, i disabled ssh root login and created a user for myself. however in order to access the user i need to enable SSH Password authentication I dont enable password authentication all the time and i keep it disabled unless i need to do something via ssh. Now my question will be, is there a way to keep the user i created and keep the root login disabled and password authentication disabled but use ssh keys for the user i created? I was informed that if i opt to login to ssh via the user i created, the only way to do that is to enable password authentication as it cannot work with ssh keys. is this true? I really hope someone can help me how to use the user i created together with ssh keys so i dont have to enable password authentication when loggin to ssh

MySQL: Access Denied For Root User
When I deleted a database, the user apparently was orphaned because when I tried to recreate it, it returned "user already exists". I've never encountered that problem although from Googling, I see others have and they delete the user to get around it. When I log into mysql using the da_admin@ account and attempt to remove the user with drop user <user_name>; I receive the following error message: ERROR 1227 (42000): Access denied; you need the CREATE USER privilege for this operation It seems I don't have rights even as the root user. How can I get remove the orphaned user?

Restricting Access To Webspace
I am planning on getting a Web-Hosting account next week for a website I am building. Some questions related to this... 1.) I believe that if you edit the .htaccess file in Apache, you can create a Log-In page of sorts to prevent people from going beyond your domain/IP address without logging in. But can I do that with a web-host like GoDaddy on a shared account? 2.) Is there a way to restrict visitors to a certain folder? Lets say I want a "MyDevDirectory" just for me, but a "TesterDirectory" for people on SitePoint who are nice enough to look at my code.

Can't Access My Web Site, Host Says It's My ISP
Can't access my web site, my web host says it's my ISP. My WebHost said "It seems that your ISP cannot resolve the domain". Can an ISP have any control over the accessibility of individual domains? That's sounds a little strange to me. My ISP support is currently closed, but I suspect they'll tell me to contact my web host. I was able to access it earlier today. What do you think? Is the ISP theory possible?

How do I configure PuTTY to produce the equivalent of this command: ssh -f root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -L 3333:yyy.yyy.yyy.yy:80 -N So far the configuration I've come up with is: Source Port: 3333 Destination: yyy.yyy.yyy.yy:80 "Local" "Auto" This doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Phantom Root Access
First, a bit of server data: Linux version: Linux version 2.6.9-023stab033.9-entnosplit (root@rhel4-32) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 SMP Tue Dec 5 14:54:16 MSK 2006 Running on top of Virtuozzo 3.x, SLM Running the DirectAdmin control panel, v.1.30.2 For a couple years I've been maintaining a VPS, and I've had a command in root's .bash_profile to mail me the contents of `who` whenever root logs in (I'm certain this wouldn't catch everything, but I at least get mailed when I ssh in). However last night I got one of the dispatch emails, one that was definitely not caused by me logging in, and it was missing the `who` output in the body. Taloncrossing: Root Shell Access on: Mon Sep 17 00:58:49 EDT 2007 I started doing some looking, starting with the logs. /var/log/messages contained these lines: Sep 17 00:58:49 vps sshd(pam_unix)[16277]: session opened for user root by (uid= 0) Sep 17 00:59:17 vps sshd(pam_unix)[16277]: session closed for user root /var/log/security contained: Sep 17 00:58:49 vps sshd[16277]: Accepted password for root from 65.98.70.202 port 45053 ssh2 To me this is pretty clear that someone had shell access to root. The session lasted just under 30 seconds. The security log showed no signs of previous failed login attempts. I referred to this topic [url]to try to find anything unusual /var/log/wtmp has a reference somewhere to the accessing IP on grep, but 'who' will not reveal it, the same way that my email message was missing that info. Everything else looks clean, I've run chkrootkit and rkhunter, all the warnings (issued by rkhunter) are benign, the .bash_history is clean (not flushed or any suspicious commands), logs are clean, nothing unusual is running, can't find anything out of place. So basically I'm completely confused and have no idea what to make of all this. Was there a glitch? I can only assume that I am somehow compromised, but don't know what to make of all the data I've gathered. I'd really appreciate opinions from some of you that know this stuff way better than I do. The only action I've taken so far is changing the root password.

Managing Local Root Folder Without Being Able To Access It
I'm planning a website at the moment but I'm wondering about a slight issue, regarding the local root folder of a website. Currently, I'm using Dreamweaver to create a website and I have had no problems of uploading my files to a site through Dreamweaver before. But I will not have access to my computer for about one month every year. However, I have a laptop available during that month. But since my local root folder is located on my stationary computer it seems impossible for me to, in any way, use that laptop to manage my site (upload new files to the server).

Access Folders In Root / Bypass Wordpress
My blog is set up to display in the root of my domain, although the files on the server sit within their own folder: i.e Server files Public_html/wordpressfiles/ Broswer displays www . mydomain . com/ (disaplys pages from /wordpressfiles) The problem I have is that I can't access individual directories within the root, unrelated to wordpress. e.g I have Public_html/folder2/... Setup on the server, but if I enter the path in my browser: www . mydomain . com/folder2 wordpress thinks I want to access: www . mydomain . com/wordpress/folder2 ...which doesn't exist. How can I re-gain access to folders in the root, without wordpress interfering?

Moving SSH Back To Port 22 But Will Root Be At Risk
At present I run SSH on a different port then normal to protect root. This has worked for two years, but with discovering that cPanel finally support SFTP without shell access needed, I want to finally turn off FTP and require SFTP. The problem is the port I am using. Since it's a random port I have been secured against root attacks (well nothing has shown up). I am with LiquidWeb which is fully managed. So I guess they take care of allot of prevention. This is what I am thinking of doing. move SSH back to port 22 (I only host a few friends sites and want to be hosting 20 accounts by end of year to cover my costs). Then disabled root password and require SSH keys. Would this be strong as secure as running SSH on a high #port or am I fooling myself. I could also add in for good measure restricting root SSH/SFTP (yes I prefer SFTP for file management as I am legally blind and using Transmit+BBEdit is allot easier for me for editing files). The problem with restricting to certain IP's, is that Shaw charges $30/month more for a static IP and I also am at my moms 25% of the time (and she is also with Shaw). I think the XXXX.vs.shawcable.net is static but I am not 100% sure. I really do want to kill FTP so that only port 80 is the only non SSL port open.

Not Able To Set Crontab To 4755 In SSH Logged In As Root
For some odd reason, when I run: chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab in ssh, it still does not change it to 4755. It's like I don't have permission to change it, ans I'm logged in as root. I've read some threads here on the forum and none really come to an issue where when they run that chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab it still doesn't chmod it. So is there a way to check if it is chmodded to 4755 as I use CSF Exploerer to check if it is chmod'd to 4755, and it just stays at 755.

Latest Linux Gives Untrusted Users Root Access
Quote: A software developer has uncovered a bug in most versions of Linux that could allow untrusted users to gain complete control over the open-source operating system. The null pointer dereference flaw was only fixed in the upcoming 2.6.32 release candidate of the Linux kernel, making virtually all production versions in use at the moment vulnerable. While attacks can be prevented by implementing a common feature known as mmap_min_addr, the RHEL distribution, short for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, doesn't properly implement that protection, Brad Spengler, who discovered the bug in mid October, told The Register. Read the complete article at The Register. New kernels are available for Redhat and CentOS (obviously), and likely others who may be affected.

SSH Keys & Direct Root Login Disabled
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.

VPS With CentOS, LXAdmin, And FTP Server Root Access
I've just signed up for my first VPS with CMBHosting and the person in charge, Chetan Bakhru, seems like a genuinely nice, friendly and helpful person. In other words this new service look promising at the moment. However ... When I signed up I selected his CentOS/LXAdmin plan because I figured that with a pre-installed control panel like LXAdmin I could avoid as much ssh as possible and simply get "up and running" more quickly. Plus I have some experience managing my own CentOS development machine, and I know that a special software package I plan to install runs on CentOS "out of the box" -- so I was expecting good things from this new VPS. But when my account was created LXAdmin did NOT create an FTP admin account for me with root access to my VPS! Instead it created an account that drops me into web server's document root folder, and this is far too limiting for me. I really need FTP root server access -- and I'm surprised that LXAdmin did not provide this access by default. Not only that, but it appears that I cannot create a new FTP account that has any deeper access than the existing admin account! Does anyone with LXAdmin experience know if this is the way LXAdmin normally works by default? Or is this perhaps a special configuration created by my new VPS host?

Mass Backup Accounts To Remote FTP With ROOT Access And CPanel/WH

I'm moving to a new host, but the thought of having to move all these accounts manually really makes me lazy I have to go into each account and go to backup -> backup to remote FTP, and yeah.. Is there any way I can mass backup all of my accounts, or all accounts I select, to a specified FTP server? I only have root access on my VPS, but not on the server I'm moving all the backups to..

Limiting SSH Access
I've recently hired a new server with the aim of offering FTP backups. I have Plesk CP but I don't want to use that to create the accounts for these users - i want to use the Plesk license for webhosting customers. My box is running CentOS with ProFTPd. The problem i'm having, is locking down SSH access to the Backup customers - if i add an account using "useradd", it is enabled in ProFTPd as I want, and I have set ProFTPd to only allow access to their home dir. However, the users can still log in via SSH and have full access to the box. Ideally, I want to be able to remove these users from SSH access, or if that's not easily possible, not allow them to "cd" above their home dir. I know it's possible to add their usernames to the SSHd config file under Deny, but is there a more elegant solution (bearing in mind i'm planning to have quite a few of these users)?

Recommend A UK LAMP Host - With Some Specific Mysql Privilege Requirements
I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible. So, I need another UK host with: - 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents) - 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big) - mysql privs available as above Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.

Secure Employees SSH Access To Server
I'm thinking about creating a limited platform for my employees to access my hosting servers I wish they can create certain types of directories for users, set permissions on some directories, list users accounts, etc. but although I don't think they would want to abuse this kind of access, I not only like the Trust-No-One premisse, but I also find it not very unlikely that the computer they're using get compromised or something like that so I'd like to get technical ideas on how to develop this system and to know if anyone is interested and would like to contribute to the code what I've considered so far is that I should either create a special user for that which would be on all users group, or should give it "root" access... the latter seems more reasonable for me considering the implementation and compatibility between systems and control panels but with "root" access I mean "running MY INTERFACE to the employee as root"... this interface would have limited options like "create directory for user X", "list content of user X", etc. (taking a lot of care on input validation)... and would enforce some limits to prevent abuse (for example, can't list the content of more than 10 users per hour, or something like that... and alert me) my main doubt is how you think that should be implemented? as a special server or as a webservice? with webservice I have the advantage of being capable of using SSL in a simple way and I don't need a special client (since any browser is a client) then that could be PHP or Perl... but running as UID 0 (I don't even know if apache allows that, or if there's a workaround like SUID)

Reliable Web Host With SSH Access
Before we get any further I would ask that people not relentlessly spam this thread with this or that, telling me how great your web-host is. Im sure it is. I do want serious replies that address my concerns. I am currently with a web host called bluehost.com -- with which I am becoming VERY dissatisfied with. They are now consistently having downtime which causes me a lot of frustration when I am in the middle of editing a file (or many files as I like to do). Frustration aside, what is this going to cost me when I am not just developing and rather depending on them to keep me alive and available? This is NOT why I pay $7 a month. Further, I find it absolutely rude and unacceptable the way I am treated by their customer service representatives. In this regard I am uncertain what is worse, letting them know Ive troubleshooted the issue on my own and therefore know something, or acting as if I don't know anything at all about the problem. Either way I receive rude, snarky, condescending, and / or passive-aggressive irritation from aformentioned representative. They "guide" me through steps they probably read from a script and when they are done "diagnosing" the problem I feel as though I've been raped. Its quite an ugly scene. I do want to mention however that I have NEVER had even 'acceptable' customer service from any of the 4 or 5 web-hosts I have tried (by tried I mean more than 6 months of sticking it out). I wish to find a web host company that is relatively large in size. This would imply a few things to me that: A) They have the capacity to reduce or eliminate downtime to something approaching zero at worst and zero at best. B) They have the capacity to staff knowledgeable customer service representatives that are not snivelling, sexually challenged uber-geeks with a grudge against the universe. I do realize this request is like expecting politicians to be honest or more specifically if the said host is large and resource laden, they probably did not get there by hiring the best and brightest to sit by the phone. C) They offer SSH access to their customers. And other small details would include a list of basic and expected necessities such as: MySQL, PHP, FastCGI, Zend Optimizer, sub-domains, pop3 accounts / mail, a control panel for account settings, and of course error logs and the like. So, if anyone knows of a host with these features, please let me know and / or please let me know of your experiences with this host. If you have had problems with Bluehost please keep in mind that they have treated me *relatively* well, with the exception of customer service not worth the goo between my toes.

IPTables - Block Internet Access To SSH (22) Except Verified IP's
I recently looked at my secure and mesaages log and have been getting a lot of failed SSH root login attempts. So I thought I better do something about it. Ideally I want to allow SSH login from just 3 remote public IP's, and block all others from even trying How would you go about implementing this? I have tried using IPTables, but I think im getting the rule wrong somewhere. Here is what I have: Code: ## Access to SSH from Pre-approved IP Addresses ONLY ## iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.123 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.124 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 123.123.123.125 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp --dport 22 -s 0.0.0.0 -j DROP However this still lets me login from IPs not in the list above?
