Hi, I recently purchased a dedicated server which runs linux (not sure on the distro) which I have running a number of websites. In the past I have only had to use cPanel and WHM to manage these, but recently there has been a requirement for an IRC server and Shoutcast server. I am familiarish with linux and was wondering the best *secure* way to set this up. Can I create a user for each service with next to no permissions and run them under this user? I got this advice from another forum: I understand some of it but was wondering if someone could please explain a little further? Many thanks.
Can you post the output of Code: ls -l /etc and Code: uname -a ? That way we should be able to figure out which distribution you're using.
