    It seems i have discovered that users are able to bypass addon domain/ subdomain limits. by removing the subfolders that are created and replacing them with linked dirs. it appears to be on freebsd and dissappear after nightly runs. I have one user that now has way more addons then he is supposed to... Can anyone verify this is the cause?

    for example

    user: ttest
    domain tttest.com
    can "addon" domains

    he adds yahoo.com

    that creates a subdirectory /yahoo

    he removes
    rm -rf yahoo

    and does this from his public_html folder
    ln -s ./ yahoo/

    bingo he can now addon more domains!:eek:

    Go on, have a guess
    If it is a reproducable bug then you should log it as a bug in bugzilla so that cPanel is aware of the issue if you haven't done so already.
