View 6 Replieswhen I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?

if yes, please how.
If not, what would be the best to do to secure 'root' account.
Meaning you can't use the user root to login to WHM.
Is that possible?
We have an internal server running Red Hat 8 or 9 that was taken offline at least 18 months ago. The guy who set up the box is long gone. Unfortunately with him went the root password. It wasn't a big deal until we realized there is some code we do want to get off of that box now that may be useful in a future project. In particular the database structure for one project. Is there any way to get access to this data or is it just lost?

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?

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!
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.
Any way to backup every SQL Databases at once ?
At the moment i need to configure each subscription on my backup program to backup each sql database.
there is any way to set a login that back's up all the databases?
And for the ftp files?
During the installation of Plesk, at first it used the root password, and then had me create an "admin" user.
When I log in using either I don't see any difference in the UI or options. Is there a difference or a reason to use one over the other?
Or is it just to give someone access to admin Plesk without giving them full root password of the server itself?
User can`t login to ftp say user or password is incorrect i use of whm/cpanel

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?
I'm getting the error after running

I'm running plesk on FC4.
Not too sure why it says failed or denied, as I'm root?
I usually use the "top" command to see what is happening in my server ... Normally everything is OK untill one week ago I start so see this process:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1115 root 20 0 10768 10m 164 R 26 0.5 46:17.27 httpd
Is the number 1 on the top list using a lot of CPU and MEM (as I say before ... I never have seen this command in the past)
So when I kill the process everything goes fine but only for a few minutes and then is comming back
Looking at a server with Plesk 12 installed there is no root user shown in tools & settings / scheduled tasks.
Login as root and crontab -l shows root has some tasks.
On a similar server with Plesk 11.5 installed can see root user shown in tools & settings / scheduled tasks.
