I just added a Linux user and checked the contents of /etc/passwd by issuing It's to find out which users have shell access. grep ':/bin/.*sh$' /etc/passwd It showed me 2 user accounts that had shell access. These 2 users (like many others) have been migrated several times and are Plesk...

I have just created a support ticket with Parallels...

Did a more general solution emerge after this? I upgraded a 10.5 Plesk to 11.5 last month and just noticed it hasn't been doing backups since. I would like to have this solved... Do I need to call in support?

When I first experienced an unresponsive server due to an over zealous Apple IMAP-client I found and used this python script. http://www.patlathem.com/identifying-courier-imap-io-abusers/ This python-script is like iotop, but it focuses on imap and shows the user that's hogging down your...

Lately I'm having several breaches and 5 accounts have been compromised. They didn't have strong passwords, so I changed these. One of these accounts however was using an account where the e-mail address is different than its account. I'm normally not using these setups, but this one made...

Bumped into this several times. I just know it has always been that way.

Here's another script regarding DNS to check if there are domains left behind or there's a difference between the authorative nameservers. # cat /usr/local/sbin/dnsconfigcheck #!/bin/bash # Author: JP van Melis ZONEFILE="$1" NAMED_CONF=/etc/named.conf CACHING_DNS=8.8.8.8 ZONES=`mktemp`...

For anyone who's interested I'm running Plesk for many clients that don't know what DNS is, so I'm more or less in charge. During a migration the TTL is changed and the SOA-records probably as well. Later all this is forgotten and stays unnecessarily at a too low value. With 1 command I can...

Ah, of course... That works and already wrote a little script and removed all the obsolete records. Thanks

Your efforts are appreciated, but that doesn't work. I didn't use a trailing dot in my example, btw. I just tried all the different combinations. Could you give a working example for domain.com ? Is there now work being done by the development team to make this more robust?

Thanks for your response... But this is only Wordpress.... I'm talking about Wordpress installed as an application within Plesk. I don't believe I can just go through that procedure whilst keeping Plesk's control over it. I know I can do it like this and get a working site, but Plesk...

Very much appreciated. I feel somewhat uneasy with MySQL. Would you know the command to remove all SRV-records containing imap in the database...?

I would like to change DNS-records from the CLI because it is too much work to go through all the different domains and changing them using a GUI I found this page, but there aren't that many examples given. It's rather ambiguous what I have to put there or it's just not working... I don't...

Could you please be clear about it? A little example please...

Come on Igor! It is plain to see that this is "security through obscurity" I have root access to this server and there's no need to hide these passwords for a root user. If these passwords are encrypted using a private key owned by Parallels, well ok... These passwords can be decrypted by the...

Up until this moment I didn't try anything On initial application install I did a default Wordpress installation which means the site is placed on the Internet as 'http://domain.com/wordpress/' Clients now really want this changed to 'http://domain.com/' How can I do this whilst pertaining a...

I wanted to prove you wrong because I was rather thorough in my tests. It turned out you are right. I do know now what happened... That server never restarted. I patched these 2 files and merely invoked "/etc/init.d/courier-imapd stop && /etc/init.d/courier-pop3d stop" and...

EDIT: some conclusions in this post turned out to be incorrect... Read on!! It is similar, but it's not the same. Because I was aware of this ludicrous setting in Plesk for imap and pop3 I patch my Plesk servers before they go into production. I recently (3 months ago) installed a new...

I have migrated several domains from a 10.4.4 server to a 11.5.3 server. Some of these domains have applications. When you create a Wordpress application in Plesk it will automatically choose the name for the database. When you migrate a domain and this domain already has a database with...
