Whostmgrd :: Stranger IP With Root Ownership And Command
Jun 28, 2008
When I have checked the 'Current CPU Usage' in root WHM there was a stranger IP with root ownership and command: whostmgrd - serving xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Also there was my IP with this ownership and command, like every time I am viewing the WHM.
I have blocked this IP with apf immediately, and the root password is changed.
Does it mean someone was in root WHM?
I have a dedicated server with cpanel on centos 4.6 / chkrootkit and rkhunter / all of server's softwares are up to date / compilers disabled for users / php open base dir is enabled and my users do not have SSH access.

I'm Running (just) Direct Admin On a Centos 4.3
Due to a typo at the comand line as Root, ive manages to change the owner ship of unknown mounts of files.
The command that was processed (Before it was complete)
chown -R reseller:reseller /
I managed to stop the process ctr+c
and these were the last files to see fly past.
The last one in the list is where it stopped at.
Code:
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11566/task/11566': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11566/task/11566/fd/0': No such device or address
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11566/fd/0': No such device or address
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572/task/11572': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572/task/11572/fd/4': No such file or directory
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572/task/11572/cwd': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572/fd/4': No such file or directory
chown: changing ownership of `/proc/11572/cwd': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/etc/X11/X': No such file or directory
chown: changing ownership of `/dev/core': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/usr/local/include/libpng/libpng12':
Too many levels of symbolic links
At the moment the server is still running and it seems only to be log in issues with Direct admin. All user / reseller / Admin accounts can no longer log in.
Error after logging in : Unable to determine Usertype user.conf needs to be repaired
No images or nothing

Does anyone here know who owns Rackedge NL? Are they a member of this forum? I am having a real bad problem, that certainly defy's logic and reason and i can’t seem to get any replies from either member McRox or the Support team.
Rather than posting wildly around the net about them and this issue, I would prefer to first ensure this isn’t just a big misunderstanding, so any details anyone can offer on this.
There is only 3 people i have been in contact with in this company
McRox (Member of this forum)
Tony Deeman (Support)
John de Groot (Sales)

I have it setup and have a user created that can upload files to my website.
The problem that I am running in to is that the files that this user uploads are owned by him not the cpanel website user. Thus when I try to view the page in my browser I get a server 500 error since the site is set to only serve up pages that are owned by the cpanel website user.
When using FTP in the same way we did not have this problem as the file that was uploaded would automatically be owned by the cpanel website user.

One of my customers wants me to change the ownership to nobody and group to apache in a directory created in the home directory of his website. I want to know whether doing so will pose any security problem. Also is there any advantage of changing the owner to nobody and group to apache?

FreeBSD 7.0
Apache 2.2
PHP5
Mysql 5.1
I have been battling this for a while. A user will setup a CMS like joomla, e107, etc and every time the CMS changes files either with user interaction on the website or the admin changing things in their cms admin web page, apache takes ownership of the files.
I have tried installing suPHP, FastCGI, and most recently suexec. I am not having any luck with this. I really don't know what I am doing with these recent additions but meanly going on suggestions. Does anyone know of a walk through to fix this permission problem? Anyone with some good advise? Surely not everyone is having to write a script to chown each user's dir and run a cronjob every 5 minutes.

I have to mass change the ownership of accounts and I find "Change Owner of Multiple Accounts" tedious.
I found a bash script but I'm not sure if this works
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
IFS="$"
cd /var/cpanel/users
if [ $# = 2 ]; then
replace "OWNER=${1}" "OWNER=${2}" -- /var/cpanel/users/*
else
echo "USAGE: ./${0} <old reseller login> <new reseller login>"
fi
If that works, how can I tweak it so that the change in ownership of accounts will be based in the hosting package and not in the old reseller account?

I have a software program on my home PC that writes to files on my remote VPS every few minutes.
The only way I can accomplish this is to CHMOD the files to 777 and give the whole world write priveledges.
Is there a way I can give my external (home) IP address write priveledges to certain files on my VPS without CHMODing them as 777?
I run the latest version of cPanel and WHM on my VPS.

I have read that although chained root ssl certificates can be more difficult to install they are actually more secure since the root certificate cannot be compromised, only the intermediary.
Is this true? It looks like both google and amazon both use chained SGC certs.

My server's ram keeps on spiking to 100%. And this causes this error:
Code:
SQL error: Out of memory
So far, the only way I can sort this problem out is to reboot it.
Is there any commands to find out what is eating up all of the ram?

Im trying to zip up an sqlite database backup.
I execute this command
Code:
zip ../d/db/backup.zip ../d/db/09-02-15.sqlite
backup.zip never appears. Instead, I get some random filename in the directory. Like ziOHokOw
If I try to zip a smaller file(last weeks backup) everything runs fine?
Code:
zip ../d/db/backup.zip ../d/db/09-02-08.sqlite
So the 134mb file zips fine, but the 200mb one seems like its failing and im left with some type of temporary file. I tried downloading the weird filename and unzipping it. It has partial info like directory structure, the filename but the actual file inside is corrupt.

i am use to zip command but on this server gzip is only installed.
So I ran this command
gzip -r /domains/
instead of this
gzip -r /domains/ > backup.gz
Now wat it has done is instead of creating a single file with all the files in compressed format, it has created their gz copy there in the recursion.
How can I delete all those files in recursion? I have tried
rm -Rf /domains/*.gz

I have recently brought a VPS hosting package. At the moment I am going through the tutoritals on the net that I have researched before getting a VPS package to give me some understanding on what I need to do to securior the server and also how to install the software that I require.
For most of today, I have been trying to sort out a problem that I am currently having.
Of which is I am trying to sort out a part of the tutorial from a website that requires the use of apt commands.
But for every command I am getting the message back apt..... Command not found. I am currently using the ubuntu operating system. And through some research, I have got the feeling that I might have the bare installation done on my server to just make it work.
Would I be right, and with the bare installation apt commands wouldn't be installed?
If I am, how would I go about installing the Apt commands and anything else that I might require?

I had some issues with PHP compilation seems to be issue with zlib. So I decided to remove it. What happened then is something like nightmare...
The command yum remove zlib removed zlib + all dependencies without asking me what to remove. So it removed majority of packages including yum itself.
How can I force yum to not remove dependencies when I uninstall some package?
