2005-02-06: Security update
IMPORTANT! The server cleanup started tonight, admittedly to make it cleaner, more secure and better suited for hosting websites. As such, changes were made to home directories: every user is now part of the users group. Check your scripts and permissions. By default home folders will have the following permissions: rwx --- --x
. Unless you don’t have a website hosted, it’s strongly recommanded you keep those permissions.
Moreover, PHP configuration was updated and fixed. The option register_globals
is now disabled. Check and correct your scripts accordingly. Check here for help and details. safe_mode
was also enabled. Report any problem to security@leapingtiger.org.
