    Default symlinks to files not owned by the user

    What do I need to enable in cpanel to prevent users from creating symlinks to files they dont own?

    Ah nevermind, I should have searched a little more carefully. This thread (http://forums.cpanel.net/f185/how-pr...02242-p10.html) seems to cover it.

    Yes, this thread here is a bit of a duplicate thread.

    The one you just posted a link to has a much more lengthy conversation on the topic and a lot more detailed information.
