How To Prevent Email To Root Account

Feb 27, 2008

I'm running a webosting server under linux with sendmail as mailserver.

The problem is that many spammers send mails directly to the root account by using one of the existing pseudo accounts like "apache, uucp, root, ...". In a default sendmail installation, apache, uucp, root are defined as alias and point to root. I do virtualhosting so I accept mail for several domains. If a spammer send mail to root@anotherdomain.com, the spam will also arrive in the root account. If I define a bounce all for my main domain, I have problems because root@mymaindomain.com and apache@mymaindomain.com do not exist anymore. This results in user unkown when apache or root try to send a mail out.

So, how do I prevent spammers from sending mail directly to the root account? Is it possible to accept only local mail to the root account?

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Bashrc For Non-root Account?

Aug 30, 2014

I am trying to change color of directories. I can do that for root by editing .bashrc under /root. How can I do that for other users created under parallels? Their home directories are /var/www/vhosts/domain.com Using root account, I created .bashrc under those directory and chown to the user. But colors are not changing. I also adding the color in /etc/bashrc system wide file and it does not work either.

Transfering CPanel Accounts From A Reseller Account To A VPS Without Root Password

Nov 26, 2008

I was just wondering if someone has made a new tool/script yet that will allow yo to transfer CPanel accounts in bulk (not the old way of doing them one by one) to another server (VPS/Dedicated) without having root access?

Like I know in order to use the WHM's transfer from server to server you need root access on both servers, but I'm asking, if you have a Reseller account, and a VPS/Dedicated server, I know last time I checked the only way to transfer accounts over was by making a Backup file for each account and then transfering it over which can take a while if you are doing a lot of accounts.

Are Chained Root Ssl Certificates More Secure Than Single Root?

Nov 25, 2008

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.

How To Kill Apache

Apr 19, 2009

This morning apache stopped to serve pages. I have tried to restart it
with no success:
-------
init.d/httpd restart
----------
init.d/httpd stop
killall httpd
init.d/httpd start
------
killall httpd
init.d/httpd restart
---------

such like several times
every time failed with the
address already in use message

Was 4 oclock in the morning su I stopped investigating and restarted the machine

Is there a way to really shut down such a completely non-responsive process withou restarting the machine?

just a notice - there were not a heavy server load at the time

------------------

Server Version: Apache/2.2.6 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-8.2mdv2008.0) mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8e PHP/5.2.4 with Suhosin-Patch

Kill SSH Tunnel

Jun 26, 2008

I'm doing the following to create an SSH tunnel:

Code:
ssh -fNg -L 8888:127.0.0.1:3306 user@123.456.789.0
How can sort of "undo" that? I ask because I need to re-tunnel in to a different IP address but right now the only way I can figure to do it is to restart my computer (which is lame).

Trying To Kill My Bandwidth

Jan 26, 2007

One of my sites, hosts mp3s for music I've written for video games etc.

I uploaded a track in December, and this month my bandwith has rocketed from 18g to 25g.

When I look at the awstats I see this...

a.a.a.a11811181146.82 MB26 Jan 2007 - 17:47
a.a.a.a+11161116198.40 MB26 Jan 2007 - 17:49
b.b.b.b1151115119.61 KB26 Jan 2007 - 08:00
c.c.c.c62062023.71 MB26 Jan 2007 - 15:18
d.d.d.d543543025 Jan 2007 - 20:52
e.e.e.e537537025 Jan 2007 - 20:18
f.f.f.f 3103104.18 MB26 Jan 2007 - 17:00

Now I'm not sure about the MB values, they don't look true at all, but why suddenly would the two top places have the same IP address bar a value of 1

If I scroll down to file usage, I see

/blah/blah/blah.mp3
7533305.76 KB52685276 - so it's been viewed 7533 times

and the next most popular page or file is,
/
10099.69 KB830412

Then looking at the search engine stats the most popular search engine phrase is this
[url][summer dance]45041.2 %

450 times? and yes, - np2sp6qjpj2jkzevo5mcl2fjmw$$.mp3 [summer dance] - this is the filename coming up even though it doesn't exist on the server

It's twice as popular as "game sounds" which is the site, and is on google... something fishy going on here.

The most popular site to come from is [url] times in fact, and that's a japanese/chinese/eastern site which I don't understand.

The IP address appears to be chinese too.

Can anyone explain to me what might be going on here please? It appears that someone is continuously downloading this specific file, just to use up my bandwidth?

Find And Kill Spammers!

May 18, 2007

Just got alerted that my server is being used to send spam. Here is the information the datacenter gave me:

[information .....]

NOTE: I changed the real domain name and IP only.

Is there an expert who can help me decipher this? How do I find the culprit? My provider is threatening to shut me down and sink all my clients with the ship!

I am running the latest WHM and cpanel server, fyi.

We Kill Servers :: Cloud/cluster

Apr 10, 2008

Our website is based around a customer based chat system. Customers are only on the system during a particular day and time range. So for parts of the week the server gets almost no traffic. When then time for a chat comes up we get hundreds of people on the site all doing page requests every few seconds.

So as you might imagine we are bringing the server to it's knees with heavy CPU and memory loads. Plus bandwidth usage is really high. We are currently on the biggest box that Rackspace has to offer. The site runs ok on it during these times. It's a little slow but not unbearable.

But we have not hit our max customer base. In fact if all goes well we will double our customer base next month. So I know when we do we will bring that box down totally.

I was thinking about possibly trying a cloud/cluster based approach but after some research on this site I have found that is probably not the best option.

So I am looking for advice on what to do? Is there a better host? Different technology?

Servers are not my thing really so I could really use some help.

No we can't change the way customers access the site or when they access. There is nothing that can be done in that regard so don't suggest it.
