Enabled Suphp But Still Can Read /etc/passwd
It there any good way to stop using from reading /etc/passwd? I have suPHP enabled and open_basedir enabled by WHM too. But it seems susphp ignores open_basedir restrictions? Here is virtual host config: <VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80> <IfModule concurrent_php.c> php4_admin_value open_basedir "/home/xxx/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/p$ php5_admin_value open_basedir "/home/xxx/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp" </IfModule> <IfModule !concurrent_php.c> <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/xxx/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/li$ </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/xxx/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp" </IfModule> <IfModule sapi_apache2.c> php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/xxx/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/li$ </IfModule> </IfModule> ServerName xxx.com ServerAlias www.xxx.com DocumentRoot /home/xxx/public_html ServerAdmin webmaster@xxx.com UseCanonicalName Off CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/xxx.com combined CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/xxx.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I . %{%s}t %O ." ## User xxx # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_UserGroup xxx xxx </IfModule> <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c> SuexecUserGroup xxx xxx </IfModule> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/xxx/public_html/cgi-bin/ DocumentRoot /home/xxx/public_html ServerAdmin webmaster@xxx.com UseCanonicalName Off CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/xxx.com combined CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/xxx.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I . %{%s}t %O ." ## User xxx # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_UserGroup xxx xxx </IfModule> <IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c> SuexecUserGroup xxx xxx </IfModule> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/xxx/public_html/cgi-bin/ # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/xxx/xxx.com/*.conf" </VirtualHost> Scripts are running with user's UID, and that is fine, but it can still read /etc/passwd file for example. How to fix that? Is it really open_basedir value is ignored by susphp? It works fine if I remove suphp and run scripts with nobody uid.

Passwd- And Shadow- Files
I have been googling this for a while but am not getting anywhere. Curiosity has gotten the best of me, what are the passwd- and shadow- files used for? The date and time stamps for both the passwd- and passwd files are exactly the same, as are the shadow- and shadow files. Are they automatically-created backups of the passwd and shadow files?

Disabling Fopen("/etc/passwd","r");
I were seeing c99.php source code to know how it gets /etc/passwd file. it simply uses fopen() for this goal but I think fopen() is needed and I don't like it to be disabled in disabled_functions. I wonder how can I disable just fopen("/etc/passwd","r"); without doing any restriction to fopen function at all

Where Are Sys V Semaphores Stored?
I'm wondering where are the linux Sys V semaphores stored? It seems that at least CentOS 5/5.1 stores them in files but I'm hoping that they are stored in RAM, so are they stored in files or in RAM? I'd also like to know how they have been programmed, as in how they work. I tried to google for both questions but for some reason I can't find the answers.

Is SYS-6015V-M3 Good For My Needs?
My requirements are: 1. SAS Ports -> So I can use SAS or SATA drives based on the server use. 2. Supports Dual Quad core Xeon processors. (5335 clovertown) 3. 1U chassis. 4. Compatible with CentOS 5. Can add expansion cards so I can add more network ports. 6. 4 hard drive bays. 7. Redundant power supply is not needed. I am thinking of buying 8 units of SYS-6015V-M3 ( http://www.supermicro.com/products/s...S-6015V-M3.cfm ) Is this choice ok ? Or is there something else I should be looking into?

Which Operating System
There's bloody heaps of them. Which one do I go for on my two new file servers? Which operating system out of these is the most common, has the most support, is most compatible? The server will be used to host videos and will run c-panel. A light weight OS is probably preferred but I really have no idea. And incase it helps, the servers have 512mb of ram, about 30 - 40GB of hDD (not actually sure) and an old AMD Duron. CentOS Debian Direct Admin Fedora FreeBSD Gentoo LiveCD Redhat Slackware

Conduct Or Legal Operating Practice
I have a ethics and legality scenario I would like to pose here. This is to be considered a fictional scenario and any similarity to any real company or person is unintentional. COMPANY X has colo racks in DATACENTER and hosts a client named COMPANY Y. COMPANY Y also hosts 50 small web sites on cpanel and 40 VPS servers on their linux VPS node in exchange for a discount or other compensation. During the month of may and COMPANY Y's bill raises from being 3000 past due to over 12000 past due to various reasons including purchasing of hds from the DATACENTER using COMPANY X's account, tech work dont by DATACENTER for COMPANY Y needed also billed to COMPANY X's account, as well as BW and rack costs. Seeing this alrming bill by the end of May COMPANY X begins putting pressure on COMPANY Y to pay some invoices as no payments were received during the entire month of may and COMPANY X is also having a hard time paying DATACENTER due to not being paid by COMPANY Y but makes efforts to pay 25% of the outstanding bill in June. Near the end of june COMPANY X has had enough and arrives at the datacetner to attempt to move theritr clients off COMPANY Ys hardware so they can suspend service of COMPANY Y completely. On the visit COMPANY X brings 2 new servers in and begins moving clients of their over and COMPANY X notices this action and begins to suspend and remove access to all of COMPANY X's clients. COMPANY X then decided to power off the boxes of COMPANY Y and removes drives containing COMPANY X customer data for offline recovery. and because they beleived the DATACENTER might be untrustworthy enough to release hardware fromt heir rakcs without their permission. The drives were for as much colatteral purposes as for recoverying customer data. They then pack the drives in boxes and a bag and leave the datacenter having spent nearly 20 hours working and head on a long trip home and signs out of the data center in front of various techs holding the server parts and tools. Upon arriving back to their office/home They were informed that the removal of the HDs was not allowed byt he datacenter because the account was past due and it was discovered that several drives with cOMPANY X's clients were left in the datacenter which COMPANY X now wishes they had remembered to get. DATACENTER is furious and demands the account be paid in full by a fixed time or the entire colo will be cut power. COMPANY X scrambles to find others to help them and another major client who has alot at risk decides to help and a payment of $7160 is made to DATACETNER but it came in a few minutes past the deadline. DATACETNER had suspended servuce, and cut power but stated they wil return service shortly. Shortly after this it is discovered that several servers belonging to COMANY X and two other companies who were supsended in the same day were not int he rack anymore.

Determining Operating System (Linux)
Without having all of the operating systems at my disposal for testing, I would like to figure out a way to determine the operating system of a remotely accessed Linux machine. It seems pretty strange though, since cPanel reports both machines I am using as being CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686, yet one's uname -a reports: Code: Linux hostsentry.crucialwebhost.com 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise #1 SMP Thu May 24 17:41:23 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Code: Linux main.7kb.org 2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 4 21:36:00 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm assuming there is a way to determine the OS from this information. Anyone know how?

Host Once - Where In The World Is My Server?
I have been running a dedicated server for years, first with Carolina Online, who then sold it to HostOnce. Today at around 6PM my server, that was working fine and I was actively working on all day, suddenly disappears off the Internet. I go to Host Once's ticket system, and they have a message up that they moved their servers from NC to NJ, that all the servers were upgraded to Windows 2003, and that they would be very busy with the migration, don't submit multiple tickets. (Host Once seems to mostly have reseller hosting accounts, not many dedicated servers.) I start pinging IP addresses and everything in my server's IP block is gone (the furthest a tracert goes is 64.70.48.3 - everything under that is gone.) This is bad. I'm worried that they may have bought new boxes in NJ for their reseller accounts, transferred up the data, and abandoned the old boxes in NC ... is this something they might do? Also worried that the block of IPs their old servers were on may have somehow been reassigned... can this happen? In any case, waiting to hear back on my ticket but looking for advice. Does anyone know the datacenter Carolina Online / Host Once used in Lumberton, NC? Want to start tracking it down if my box may have been left behind.... Any other insight on what in the world they might be doing / what happenned here?

100Mbit+ Unmetered - Anywhere In The World
Can someone give me a good list of providers like fdc, ovh, etc. Bandwidth quality not much of an issue, quantity means more than quality to us, cogent only networks are even acceptable We need more than one, as we need servers all over the world. Edit: 100Mbit with unlimited or VERY high bandwith limits minimum. Edit 2: Looking for something similar to fdc and ovh in price if possible. Going over 500/mo is pushing the budget on these, although specs do need to be taken into consideration.

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Read Only Filesystem
I have a server with pacificrack. When I see my website it says "Read-Only File system" and my SSH dies with read-only file system errors. It happens once per month, and the bad thing is I'm sleeping when it happens so I don't know my server is in this state. Even though support fixes the problem within 15minutes of my support ticket, my server is down for hours because I don't know its down to then raise a ticket. I asked support why it happens and they never tell me... just tell me to read the logs but I'm not technical enough to understand linux logs etc. Server is centos.

Server Became Read Only System
I had a linux server (CentOs 5, mysql5, php5, directadmin). I had problems with apache few days ago, that's why i hire sys. admin who tweak the system (install the PAE kernel), and some more configurations, and during last 7-8 days server work w/o any downtime (before this server had 1-2 downtimes per day-> OOM killer.) Now i had only ssh access (emails, directadmin access - give "wrong password" answer). As told my sys.admin It became read only system. I cann't even reboot system Quote: [root@server sa]# reboot reboot: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) such few commands work, the most commands that i know don't work Quote: [root@server ~]# ls -la ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To Read Ftp Log
We have been working on a site for a while, couple of days ago I copied the source from the server - as there are few people making the changes to it - to get a fresh copy. Yesterday I was blasted by my client that I have deleted files on the server and it had caused the site to go in disarray and they had to upload everything again. I didn't delete anything, only copied, and after some arguments (naturally I am not happy with the allegation put on me) I was able to get the FTP log, but I don't really know how to read it, I am hoping that someone here would know and be able to assist: HTML4Strict Code: Tue Mar 04 16:49:29 2008 0 xx.xx.xx.xx 9365 /home/APP_NAME/public_html/user/add_room.php a _ i r xxxx ftp 1 * cTue Mar 04 18:20:02 2008 0 xx.xx.xx.xx 3909 /home/APP_NAME/public_html/About.php a _ o r xxxx ftp 1 * cTue Mar 04 18:20:04 2008 0 xx.xx.xx.xx 6046 /home/APP_NAME/public_html/affiliate-join.html a _ o r xxxx ftp 1 * cTue Mar 04 18:20:08 2008 0 xx.xx.xx.xx 6158 /home/APP_NAME/public_html/affiliate-join.php a _ o r xxxx ftp 1 * c I have replaced the IP, application name with x. I am guessing that *c means copy, but I don't want to make fool of myself when I confront them with this. Assuming that *c is copy what would be the command for delete?

I no my bank doe's not ever do this so I contacted them. When sending on the mail to them, they where able to trace the e-mail and it took them back to the address listed above using the e-mail account psychic@sabre.hostvector.com.

The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is 18:46:25 up 59 days, 13:16, 0 users, load average: 2.24, 2.23, 2.25 You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load So what does this mean? and how can i check out this? how to reduce the cpu usage? Where to see the current usage?

What Happens If You Forget To Read TOS
About a month ago, I searched desperately for days to host my social networking site and file hosting site. Thankfully I found Wiredtree(WT) to be suitable for my budget. I signed with them with their entry plan of $44.10 and was happy with their service. The customer support was extremely helpful and they did everything to make my life better. Nevertheless my project didn't turn up as expected and I decided to close the hosting. Just a day before the end of one month of hosting, I wrote to them asking to close the account and also congratulating their service I also told them I would look forward to host with them in future and would recommend them. I expected a warm termination without any hassle. But i got a mail quoting their TOS (which says I should inform them 7 days in advance) and asking me to pay up another month's hosting fee before I can close the account. Along with it was a note from the staff to use the client portal to contact Billing Department directly to close the account (hmmm would they ask me to contact sales department directly if I tell me I want to add new server?). What hurt me was not the extra $44.10 which I will pay them anyway, but what they could have done was to understand my genuine case(first time customer). Tell me, how many of us read the TOS really. I requested them not to charge me, but got same cold response asking me to adhere to the TOS. On the other hand my experience with other host (PM me if you want to know who) was one of awe and amazement. I wrote asking them the price I should pay to have more bandwidth. To my surprise I got extra bandwidth absolutely free though it wasn't mentioned such things in their TOS. Well I learned a lesson today not to forget the importance of TOS and i am sure new webmasters will find this post useful. This thread is not against the WT service. But a warning to new webmasters who might miss the fine print.

Anyone Know How To Read Email Headers
I'd love to contact the domain registrars of the recipient spammers who are barraging me with the latest "google riches", or "ebay success" sales pitch emails, but I lack the knowledge of how to reveal the email headers and interpret them. Is there a particular email client program that would allow me to view all parts of the email ? Maybe I'm using the wrong client (outlook), that would not allow me to view the more technical parts of the email, but but I don't know. If I go ahead and click on their "unsub me" links at their bottom, that's their tricky way of finding out what emails are active and possibly make it worse for me. I know that it's illegal to send me email that I didn't opt into, in the first place, even if they do provide the unsubscribe link at the bottom, with the usual "Icann" spam disclaimer that they include.
