WGET Disabled \ Shell access NOT allowed

[Corey]

I have disabled wget from normal user, use. Starting now we are also strictly enforcing the NO SSH rules. We will now be scanning for people using /bin/sh to execute scripts. You will automatically be suspended if caught.

I see a few people using sh to execute PHP crons. Change your crons to use php -q instead of using sh. You will be suspended for using SH.

I am also restarting the server to make some other changes active. Downtime should be no more than a few minutes.

Ok!
Thanks for letting us know Corey...
And.. I don't know if PHP-Nuke uses sh or not... Do you know if it uses or not?

 

[Corey]

I don't believe so.

Last I checked nukes don't need cron. but may have changed since I used it last. I prefer to use my own code because its easier to edit something if I know whats there.

I think it's safe to assume that if you are writing your own code and you have know idea what Corey is talking about, you'll be fine.

 

[jaygreentree]

you have know idea what Corey is talking about.

Don't take this as me being rude but I know exactly what corey is talking about. He has disabled WGET/SSH for security. I have a linux box at home and have used ssh to install a testing server.

I wasn't referring to you, I was stating that for everyone that reads this topic. I myself fall into the category of not knowing what he is talking about.

Alrigth Sorry about that. wasn't being rude as I said. (maybe this should be locked so we don't get any arguments going on. (not that I was or anything but some users would if they where able.)
