Maybe it's in need or revisiting.

What commands did you use to add the secondary DNS data?

If you FTP in as a site admin, you can only go up to the site's root / directory - which translates to /home/sites/www.domain1.tld/.  In the FTP session - a user or admin can't even see there is anything higher, let alone get into it. But if you SFTP in as that same site admin, you can go all the way up to the system's root directory.  They can browser the entire server's directory tree, and read anything that has readable permissions.  Whether they can write files elsewhere in the system or modify them depends on the directory permissions.  But that's plausible, especially in the /tmp directory.  (Can you imagine what could be done by someone placing executable code in the /tmp directory and then executing it by calling it from a PHP script in their website??) Also with SFTP, a site admin can also down from /home/sites/ into other site's /home/site/www.domain2.tld directories and read anything in there that has world read permissions.  Potentially things that the owners of domain2 didn't want others to see. So its a security issue.  That's why I won't allow SFTP by users or site admins on my server.  I trust those guys, but only so far.  Just have them use FTP or FTPS.

I've done (ok, tried) similar by using some of the DNS tools to export a primary list and on the secondary DNS to import it - never quite got it working as I wasn't happy with needing to remove all secondary DNS data for the import to work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dogsbody" &lt;dan-BgfCaCeoFIFg9hUCZPvPmw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; To: "BlueOnyx General Mailing List" &lt;blueonyx-tmYmGKlYHG7xDQNxMPk8KQ&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 12:25 PM Subject: [BlueOnyx:10658] Automate Secondary DNS </pre> Richard Morgan 2012-05-24T12:24:57 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10643 <pre>Hi All, Has anyone done anything with automatically adding secondary DNS entries on a BO system? I have a customer that is always adding and removing domains on their BO server. They are happily doing the Primary DNS and I am doing the secondary DNS on a couple of other BO servers that are in separate datacentres. Of course this means changing the secondary servers every time a domain is added or removed. I used to use a great service from an ISP where you could FTP them a file that contained the domain (zone) name and primary DNS server and they would automatically secondary host those domains. I automated the sending of this from BO easy enough and I'd like to add the same sort of secondary functionality to BO if possible. I'm happy to share my code if anyone else is interested. Dan </pre> Dogsbody 2012-05-24T11:25:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10642 <pre>I wonder if anyone has used this before. Most of what I have found on the net is relating to older versions of dovecot. I am migrating a couple of servers and want to use imapsync or similar to sync all mail accounts using this one master user. I have followed a couple of guides and I still get authentication problems. Can anyone outline the best method. Regards, Stuart </pre> Stuart Clark (Datacenta 2012-05-24T08:17:13 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10641 <pre>Hi Dirk, Just connect to the box with an SFTP capable FTP client. If I have to use Windows for FTP (happens rarely enough) I use FlashFXP, which (among other things) supports SFTP. Some clients (like FlashFXP) need to know which "SSL method" or which "SSL authentication method" they should use when they connect to the server. Set this to "Auth SSL" or "Auth TLS", which our ProFTPd supports out of the box. Other than that you don't need to do anything special. </pre> Michael Stauber 2012-05-24T03:21:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10640 <pre>Hi Steffan, Yeah, I follow the discussions there as well to stay in the loop about interesting ideas and approaches. I looked at Ploop and experimented a little with it on 6106R. Naturally many users on the OpenVZ mailing list are comfortable using bleeding edge code. And there is quite some infatuation with experimental file systems. Last year GlusterFS (http://www.gluster.org) was "the next big thing" for OpenVZ, this year it is Ploop. I also checked GlusterFS, as it was a particularly nice alternative to DRBD for clustered systems. But at this time there is one thing that both Ploop and GlusterFS have in common and it really affects the ability to market it as a fundamental component in a commercial environment: Both are experimental and not yet finished. Don't get me wrong: Ploop is indeed interesting in so far as it allows to compartmentialize the VPS's in a fashion that isolates them better from the master node. That has a few advantages over basing a VPS directly on a "regular" filesystem - no doubt. But all in all the advantages are (in my opinion) not substantial enough to outweight the risks of an early adoption of Ploop. When the very same filesystems developers that created it say "It's not yet ready", then I'm of course really reluctant to offer it to paying customers. Especially if it is one of the most (if not THE most) crucial component: The very own filesystem that stores the invalueable data that you plan to host. Hey, I like bleeding edge code. But when it comes to filesystems, then I really, really follow a no nonsense and very conservative guideline. I still use EXT3 even long after EXT4 has been deemed "stable" and ready for production. Both GlusterFS or Ploop offer some nice new features that I'd love to have for this or that reason, but in my view the unclear desaster recovery process and the warnings straight form the developers that "the code is not yet fully ready" let me stay clear of it outside of some controlled testing environments that only have unimportant data on them. However: I wouldn't feel comfortable hosting important business data on a Ploop filesystem or a GlusterFS at this time. Let us give it some more time to mature ... </pre> Michael Stauber 2012-05-23T12:57:09 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10639 <pre>Hello Michael, Is this something for Aventuring http://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop I read a lot of positive results Steffan </pre> Steffan 2012-05-23T08:34:45 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10638 <pre>Hi all, Has anyone put together a Munin package for 5108R / 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64 (SMP) x86_64 ?

And it reverts back to that every time the SO supplied "php" RPMs are updated. However, there is a mechanism in place in BlueOnyx that sets it back to 777 upon CCEd restart or after automated YUM updates that were scheduled through the GUI. We need the 777 permissions on that directory so that suPHP enabled Vsites can store their session data in it. </pre> Michael Stauber 2012-05-23T00:31:50 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.devices.blueonyx.user/10636 <pre>Another things to watch is some Wordpress plugins need more memory too. You don't realize until you install the plugin and start gettingthings like blank pages.

Compass / Solarspeed have a pkg that takes care of the hard work for you. http://www.compassnetworks.com.au/shop/wordpress-p-30.html or for German users... http://www.compassnetworks.com.au/shop/wordpressgerman-p-115.html These packages have pre-configured settings embedded in the package that take care of minimum requirements to install a wordpress site. It also has an app backup and database backup system. It also allows CMU migration of the meta data allowing a site to be easily ported from one server to another. It also has an upgrade function, making it easy to update to newer wordpress versions as they are released your existing sites with the click of a button.
