Custom Icon Groups In Cpanel
how you create a custom icons/plugins group in cpanel. I know you can make new icons like one for Domain Registration or whatever, by using the cpanel plugin creation tool at cpanel's website. But, I was wanting to create a whole new 'category' of icons, like how "Domains", "mail", etc.. has it's own categories.

Assigning Local Groups To Domain Users
I have a samba server running as a NT domain controller, and a linux client computer that is joined to that domain controller. I login to the linux computer as a domain user, is it possible to assign local groups (e.g. games, floppy, video, etc) to the domain user other than modifying the /etc/group upon successful authentication? Can pam_group do what I need?

A Question i go for you is, Im Looking at upgrading the mysql on the VPS, as im looking at installing xcache xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/Release-1.2.0 Would you say this is a good idea or not, as i've heard that xcache can reduce server loads ?

Directory Owner/permissions
I currently have a WHM/CPANEL VPS and will be running a content managment system that is licensed to manage any domain on the same server. The CMS essentially builds static webpages for all domains that it manages. The CMS is written in perl and is installed in CGI directory of the " master domain". I wish to use the CMS in this master domain to control the other domains on the server. Each of the other domains has its own public_html directory and own CPANEL. Right now, I have to make the public_html directory of my other websites "world writeable" before I build its pages using the CMS. I want to get away from that. I wish to set up permissions to 755 on each of the public_html directories and still be able to write to those other sites from my master domain's CMS.

Chown Not Changing Owner:group
I have just restored an account to my directadmin box and it appears to have restored with the wrong owner / group. Easy I thought, a quick 'chmod secure.secure -R *' should crack that but how wrong was I. After running that I get the error: chown: invalid option -- o Now - both the user and the group exist, so why won't the files change owner and group?

PHP Permissions (file Owner)
I have setup an ftp user which can upload files to /home/ftp/upload and obviously it assigns the ftp user as the owner when it uploads. Now, I want PHP to be able to rename those files, but getting a permission denied, presumably because apache aint the owner or doesnt have permission to do that, so how do I grant it the right permission(s)?

Owner: What Is Your TOS Regarding Unlimited Features
After my bad experience regarding unlimited features on this link: [url] I tried to search some of webhosting provider tos regarding their unlimited bandwidth and space. Here one of the tos: (sorry, I hide the name).Unmetered Bandwidth Policy The purpose of the ********* unmetered bandwidth policy is to assure owners of standard operating web sites and small businesses that they will not be surprise billed for bandwidth usage. It is one less thing someone will need to worry about while hosting their web site at *********. The ********* unmetered bandwidth policy does not cover certain web sites. These include the following: * Web Portals/Communities/Forums - Any sites that have members and/or forums. * Online Gaming - Includes online casinos and single/multiplayer online games. * Image Galleries - Includes eBay or other online auction image dumps. * Downloads - Any site that prompts for a download or has large applets. * Audio/Video - Any streaming content, web-cams or audio/video downloads. * Chat - Includes PHP and Java chat rooms. CGI-based chat is not allowed on our servers. If you are planning on using our servers to host one of these sites, ********* will allow for 50 GBs of transfer per month. You will be billed $10.00/10 GBs/mo thereafter. All other accounts for personal and small business are allowed unmetered bandwidth. If you adhere to our Terms and Conditions of Use Policy and run a standard web site, you will be covered under the unmetered bandwidth policy. (99.9% of all ********* hosted web sites currently qualify for their unmetered bandwidth usage.) Accounts that do not follow our Terms and Conditions of Use policy are classified as metered bandwidth accounts and will be billed accordingly. Unmetered Web Space Policy ********* customers are privileged to be offered unmetered web space for their sites on certain plans. ********* will start you out with 1000 MBs of space. Once you approach 90% of its use, simply request additional space from Support. ********* will then add another 1000 MBs of space, free of charge. You can continue this process until you no longer require additional space. The intent of ********* is to provide a large amount of web space to serve web documents, not an off site storage area for electronic files or a backup of your PC. Ninety Percent (90%) of your web pages (html, etc.) must be linked with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored within your space, hosted on a ********* server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files, will not be offered any additional web space under our Unmetered Web Space Policy. Read the tos carefully, it can be tricky right? So if your the owner of webhosting provider that give unlimited bandwidth and space.. what is your TOS?

"owner" ID In Ftp Client -- Security Risk
I just started using FileZilla Client, as a way of allowing business clients to upload to an ftp account at my website (the ftp account is a subdirectory of my public_html directory, and has its own username and password). I noticed that, along with other information for each file listed at that subdirectory, FileZilla also posts info on "owner" and "group". It turns out that, for each of these fields, FileZilla displays the username of my entire site -- not the username specifically associated with the particular ftp account to which FileZilla had connected. Thankfully, it doesn't also display the password that goes along with it! I'm wondering if anyone would know: - does this constitute a significant security risk? - is this because of actions on the part of my web host, or because of FileZilla's programming? (ie, would the same thing occur in all ftp clients?) - if this is a significant security risk, would there be any workaround?

Rsync Instructions
I have been trying to setup rsync on my server and following these instructions http://www.bqbackup.com/setup.html The problem is I keep getting errors. On this step, ssh-keygen -t rsa -N I edited it and did ssh-keygen -t rsa --N becauseI got an error saying it need the '--' before the N. So after getting through that part, I got these questions asked Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: I left the passphrase empty, and then when it asked where to save to, I just typed in 'rsa'. Then it gave me some fingerprint. Then I get to the step, # scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com:keys/server1 # ssh yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com mergekeys But I get errors saying -bash: cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory I dont get what I'm doing wrong. If somebody doesnt mind, can you please re-write the steps on getting this working, or maybe tell me where I am going wrong if the tutorial is correct?

Rsync And Cron
I have a bit of a strange problem, I have an rsync command setup in the servers crontab and from the cron log it show it ran the command but the files don't copy to the backup server.

Rsync And Passphrase
I'm trying to configure rsync to backup my vps data to an rsync backup provider. The problem that I am having is that each time I try to run rsync it prompts for the passphrase. I did some reading and it seems (and maybe this is not correct), that in order to do unattended rsync (e.g. using cron), that you need to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase generated. If this is the case, is it true that it's not a good idea to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase?

Setting Up Rsync
im trying to setup rsync to mirror my FreeBSD box to my CentOS box. I have rsync moving everything in /etc/, /usr/, /home/. The rsync daemon is hard to get running on CentOS (need to make startup scripts and all) so I was wondering if I can just make a user on the centOS box for rsync:rsync and transfer it as root fromt he freeBSD box to the centOS box using ssh keys. Can I do this? Someone said this won't be possible because rsync:rsync will not be able to read the files owned by root:wheel. Is this true?

So I Do An RSync Backup - How Do I Restore It?

Lets say I do a daily rSync backup and eventually my server HDD crashes, I know it isn't just a 'one click' job to restore my backup but what is it necessary to do in order to carry out a complete and effective restore back to how it was? A step-by-step 'tutorial' on restoring an rSync backup would be helpful not just to me but to many 'would-be' server administrators.

Saving Space With Rsync
Just wondering if you guys had any resolutions to this. We are looking to save space on our rsync backups. I know you can use the --compress, or -z and it compresses data on the fly to save bandwidth but is there anyway to keep the data compressed so it takes up less space once it is on the server and still make it so it only copies over the file changes? If not, anyone have any suggestions on how to save space with rsync backups?

Rsync Backups And Security
Rsync seems to be popular as a backup solution, so I thought I give it a look myself. However, after looking for a while I think it is lacking in either (1) usability or (2) security for backups. Lets use a backup of /home for example: (1) To make the transfer secure I'd use rsync over ssh. Backup works great - untill you have to restore. Restore works only partially, because all the files now have the user/group id of the user on the backup server (even if the restore is run as root). You'd have to chown all the individual users dirs, permission files....error prone and a lot of manual work --> not good. (2) Running rsync in daemon mode on the remote server preserves uid/gid and permissions. Restoring works like a charm when run as root. But, hey, now every 13 year old with some knowledge and a packet sniffer can write down your data unencrypted. They just need to look for -lets say- db-info in php files etc and suddenly have access to your customer base or whatever you store.... Even worse if you transfer db dumps or other sensitive data. So it is not safe to use --> not good. Is there a way to secure the transfer or keep uid/gid info intact? And how do all the backup providers handle the issue? (This one here claims rsync is secure.) Or is there another way to fix the problem - restoring uid/gid and secure transfer for backups.

Backing Up Using Rsync: Slow?
I want to back up my entire server, probably 50gb of data. i have a 20mbit connection at home, and get 1.5+mbytes/second when pushing a file onto my home pc from the server via ftp, so i know the pipe between the two can handle the bandwidth. i've set up rsync at home but for some reason the transfer rate does not go over 50-60kbytes/sec, i'm guessing cause the files are too small. is this a problem with my rsync configuration? i havne't set any speed limits... finally, is there some better solution than rsync to backup my server? command i'm using for rsync: rsync --links --backup --recursive /mydirectory myserver::backuplocation.
