does jailshell affect server root permissions ?

[PDM]

Would enabling jailshell in cPanel System tweaks prevent the server root user write perms to his .bashrc file ?

When I ssh to my new cpanel server su - and edit .bashrc I get permision denied.

root can't chmod .bashrc or cp to .bashrc

???

You need to use a full shell account to be able to su to root, not a jailshell.

I'm trying to to figure out why when I ssh to the server as server admin then su - to become server root I can't chmod, edit or write to my root .bashrc file.

I'm setting up a new cPanel server and always, with other RHEL servers, edited my .bashrc to email me logins as a rudementary security flag.

Check whether you have any attributes on the file:

lsattr .bashrc

Thanks that was the problem.
