Hi, wer have a few peopel who like doing things via command lines rather than a GUI. If we install ISPCOFIG and allow shell access will they be able to create databases, email and sub domains ect ect via command line. Also will they be able to use a3rd aprty celeint such a sputty many thanks damien
yes. yes. But be aware that the SSH accounts are not chrooted. Chroot SSH will be introduced in the next ISPConfig release, available in approx. 1 week.
many thanks is there any tips or trick on how to move accounts over we not currently using any control panel and everything thing is done via shell
also the bit about creating databases, email ect via command lid conflicts with what is said in this thread http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5270 many thanks damien
You would have to recreate the web sites and users in ISPConfig. There's no way of importing existing items into ISPConfig.
Chrooted ssh Hi, i am running isp config 2.2.5 and just found out that all users with shell access are able to read the webs of other users. They cant write, but thats not much help. Is this the chrooted ssh you talked above here which solves this? Or is that a general misconfiguration? Thorsten
Yes, that's right. If you don't use chrooted SSH, granting shell access to your users is a security risk!
so when using 2.2.5 howto setup Thanks Falko, I thought so (testing the environmet ). But how do i set up the chrooted ssh? Does ispconfig do that for mee or do i have to alter the linux setup. I originally used the perfect setup (Mandrake 2006)? th
Hi Falko, i used your Tut, but i dont understand, how this works with ISPCOnfig. Does ISPC automatically chroot the User, if i grant him ShellAccess? Regards Volker
Yes. ISPConfig chroots all usera ccounts that where newly created or updated after you enabled chrooting in the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php
Hi, I used the debian tutorial and have set the setting in config.inc.php, but now everytime i try to ssh in remotely it just kicks me out after i submit my password. if i set the setting back to 0 - i can then ssh in but no chroot. hayashi
The chroot only works for users that you created or updated (e.g. change the disk quota and hit save) after you enabled the chrooting feature in the config.inc.php file. Otherwise the chroot directory does not contain a valid shell and other files that are nescessary for a SSH session.
