Hi,
If a cPanel user john1 who has his account in /home/john1, is given shell access (as john1, not root access) what would the primary security issues be - any howto's or articles for the same?
Anything important other than standard linux permissions issues to be remembered?
We have a VPS account with root access too, but running scripts as john1 is safer than logging in as root.
I just want to confirm that there are no glaring security issues I overlooked.
Also, how does one allow scripts running as john1 to access apache and mysql error logs?
I suspect adding john1 to the root group is a bad idea.
TIA,
Dave
