VirtFS (Jailed Shell)

[fdnven]

Hi,

Running 4 sevres with most current cPanel installed.
Jailed Shell has always been "OFF"

Looking in the folder VirtFS on all servers there are between 1-4 users in each VirtFS folder. seeing that shell has always been turned off why are the accounts in the VirtFS folders?

and it appears that each account holds the same structure:

root [/home/virtfs/foreforu]# du --max-depth=1 | sort -n | awk 'BEGIN {OFMT = "%.0f"} {print $1/1024,"MB", $2}'
du: cannot access `./usr/local/apache/domlogs/investorchitchat.com-bytes_log.bkup': No such file or directory
0 MB ./proc
0 MB ./dev
1 MB ./etc
6 MB ./bin
13 MB ./sbin
24 MB ./lib64
31 MB ./opt
42 MB ./tmp
227 MB ./lib
2499 MB ./home
8447 MB ./usr
22439 MB ./var
33730 MB .

Under the account folders they all hold folders such as /var /user...

Thanks
Frank

The jailed environment is now used for running cron jobs I believe as well as some exim processes, the latter depending on the shell configured

Edit: Jail System Update | cPanel Releases so if you've got noshell for accounts you'll also get jailshell behaviours

Hello

Yes, this is the expected behavior. As mentioned in the previous post, this change was implemented in cPanel version 11.38. More information is available at:

11.38 - Jailed System Update

Thank you.
