what problems could i be facing if i skip that, i'd guess one cannot access file system via some grub parameters,
it can only be used to lower performance?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got a new server with two SATA drives in it (no hardware raid). Both drives work fine under Linux, BUT I can boot only from the first disk.
The system is Debian Stable, boot loader is GRUB. I've got serial console access, so after power on I can see GRUB menu and escape to the shell. Then:
Code:
grub> root (hd1,1)
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
Even when I type "root (hd" and press TAB, grub auto-completes command to "root (hd0,". It doesn't see the second drive!
When Linux has started and I run grub shell inside OS, it does see (hd1).
Everyday after Backup Panel (Tasks from Backup Manager), I receive next error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<execution-result status="error">

</message>

Resolve -> only reconfigure domain. How can I automatic fix this problem?
today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.

Sometimes when you upload to ftp, the password window keeps appearing.
You type in the correct password, and then it keeps appearing and appearing as you upload files.
Why is that?
Is it my fault or hosting's fault.

I am wanting to setup rsync to always login, so I don't want to use keys. Is it possible to put the password in the rsync command leave.
If so how do I do this?
Or do I have to use: --password-file=/path/to/password/file
I have created a password file in /root/passw.txt
then run command
rsync -ave 'ssh -p 1234' --password-file=/root/passw.txt admin@10.0.0.10:/home/admin/backups/* /backups
But it still asks for the password. How can I fix it?

How can i prevent my users and server from this security issue?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have dedicate servers and I want to change the root password. I'm using whm/cpanel.
What happen when I forget my root password?
restore a VPS onto a different server due to a hardware failure. The new VPS is up and running and I can apache is displaying the cPanel WHM login panel ok. So I know the VPS is fine.
However, my WHM username/password are no longer working.
What options do I have resetting the password for the WHM? I have full access to the shell of the VPS (root access).
I'm still trying to figure this one out. I got an email last night about 10:30pm that a weird IP had logged with root. I thought it was a guy that helps with tech things but I ran the IP... it came back from Korea and I knew I was in trouble. I immediately logged into WHM and changed the root password then sent the server down for a reboot. He was only in there for about 3 minutes before I nailed him. I've banned the IP from the server and have been watching it for nearly 12 hours now and they haven't came back yet.
Now comes the task of trying to figure out how he got the password. This is mind boggling to me. He knew the password, like someone gave it to him... there were no incorrect guesses or brute force. The password was a series of random letters, both upper and lower case. Is it possible he got it through getting to /etc/passwd via a PHP script? I have open basedir restrictions in place, can they get around that? I noticed at the time he logged in there were several IPs trying to exploit PHP scripts on my server, you know, setting the parameters to txt files but I assumed with shell functions disabled (except exec) and with open basedir this wouldn't be possible. Is there a hole in cpanel / PHP / kernel recently I may have missed?
