View 3 Replies View RelatedServer :: Limit The Suphp User Memory Limit?
May 12, 2010I have a VPS server with 512 MB memory. The php.ini is set so script memory limit = 16 MB. However, I have noticed in my top report, instances like the following:
Quote:
5484 coldclim 25 0 46476 32m 5920 R 0.0 6.4 0:00.93 php
The bold number of 6.4 is the % of sever memory this process is using. 6.4 % of 512 MB of memory is about 32 MB of memory, so it appears that this isn't being limited by php.ini. Am I correct? This leads to the next question: Is there some way to limit the amount of memory a single suphp process can use? (Basically, something like the setting in php.ini which limits suphp processes in the same way.)
General :: Limit Every User To His Own Home Folder Only
Jul 12, 2011i have a linux server which users connect to with SSH. my users only upload and download content from their /home folder.
Basicly, I want them to be limited to see and use only their home folder.
I read that it might not be a good idea to do so, since they nead read premissions to run programs and scripts, but again: they are only downloadinguploading content to their home dir.
How can I do it?
General :: Ubuntu - Limit Every User To His Own Home Folder Only
Aug 29, 2011Limit every user to his own home folder only.I have a web server running 10.04 LTS and as a newbie in the world of server administration, I'm in a bind.Right now, I have three users. Root, which obviously has access to everything, and two other users that each own a website.For these two users, their website is located in their respective home folder in an extra folder they each have Read, Write & Execute permissions on. This is the only folder they can write to. They cannot delete it, or change anything outside the folder.
So far so good, except that by default, they can also read any file in the system, meaning they can navigate to my other websites' folders and read, for instance, the database passwords from WordPress config files.This is obviously problematic.The users access their files and folders through SSH with FileZilla.
How can I prevent these users from reading sensitive data, i.e. how can I restrict their access to only their home folder?The users must continue to login through SSH with FileZilla (i.e. no FTP solutions)Apache must still be able to access the user's folders (i.e. cannot chmod to 750)Folder containing the command line tools (/bin/bash I think) will probably have to be symlinked in the user's home folder?

Dec 10, 2010'm a bit familiar with Centos as I have set up few website on this environment but I have never actually installed, and especially, configure ftp server. Now I need to do this. Simply I need to be able to create an access account for a user and then restrict access to only one folder within the website (idea is to allow this user to upload images via ftp). I did google for ftp servers and read about vsftpd but I couldn't find any tutorial on how exactly make it work with folders and specific users.

Dec 3, 2009Is it possible to limit each user so that only one can connect via each username for ssh/sftp? I work with a small company where there aren't really enough of us to justify using a revision control system, but we don't want to accidentally step on each other's toes, so we'd like to try simply preventing more than one person from accessing a given domain at once.

Server :: Limit User Processes ?
Feb 10, 2010I have some domains on a VPS server. Typical account memory usage for all domains runs at 50% of available, but I have a problem. One domain is causing me trouble because intermittently traffic will spike on that domain, causing so many requests within 1 min that I exceed my memory allocation for my entire VPS package. Apache is then killed but the virtualization software and Apache must then be restarted.
A sample snippet from tops right before the sever went down would like like this:
All of that memory usage adds up. I would like to "throttle" the number of processes that user/domain can run. I think this would be a quick and easy way to keep the domain from taking down my entire VPS. My understanding is that I could do this with the /etc/security/limits.conf file.
Is that correct?
I have never done this before. Do I want to set a hard or soft limit? I think if I wanted to limit the number of processes for "coldclim" to 15 I would add a line to limits.conf like this:
Code:
Assuming that is correct, can anyone tell me how the website would respond once it reached its limit? Would visitor queries become sluggish, or would the website not come up for them at all?

Networking :: In PPTP Server - Limit Bandwidth Per User & No. Of Connection Per Account?
Apr 2, 2010recently i rent a xen vps intended to setup a PPTPD vpn server for me and my friends. so we can by-pass the great firewall in china and get back on ....., facebook and stuff. i have already setup the server and i can connect to it without any problem. but i still want to do some further configuration the server:
1. i want to limit the bandwidth to 400k/s per connection.
2. i also want to limit the max connection per user a/c
i have some thoughts on the 2nd requirement. in the user configuration file of /etc/ppp/chap-secret, you can specify the range of ip the user can get, does it limit the max connection per user a/c? or they can connect anyway, just every now and then a box pop up says conflict in IP address?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: HTTP Throttling - Limit Access To My Web-server
Apr 12, 2010I'm thinking about some ways to limit access to my web-server. It runs Nginx and php in FCGI. The server contains a large amount of information. The data is freely available and no authentication is required but other companies might like to mirror it and use on their own servers.
The requests could be limited on different levels: IP, TCP, HTTP (by nginx) or by the php application. I found some solutions (like Nginx's limit_req_zone directive), but they do not solve the second part of the problem: there's no way to define a whitelist of clients who are allowed to use the data.
I thought about an intellectual firewall that would limit the requests on IP basis, but I'm yet to find such device. Another way was to hack some scripts that would parse the log file every minute and modify the iptables to ban suspicious IPs. It would take days and I doubt this system will survive, say, 1000 requests per second.
Perhaps, some HTTP proxy, like Squid, could do this?
Security :: Iptables - Limit Access To Port 8443 On Server To 2 Specific IP Addresses
Dec 23, 2010I'm trying to limit access to port 8443 on our server to 2 specific IP addresses. For some reason, access is still being allowed even though I drop all packets that aren't from the named IP addresses. The default policy is ACCEPT on the INPUT chain and this is how we want to keep it for various reasons I wont get into here. Here's the output from iptables -vnL
[Code]...
Note the actual IP we are using is masked here with 123.123.123.123. Until I can get everything working properly, we're only allowing access from 1 IP instead of 2. We can add the other one once it all works right. I haven't worked with iptables very much. So I'm quite confused about why packets matching the DROP criteria are still being allowed.

Ubuntu Servers :: Sftp Or Ftps - Configure Another User To Go Over The Web With Limited Folder Access?
Dec 11, 2010I want to share files over the web with only a few people and limiting them to certain folders. I have been doing a remote access (ssh) to my server to access it from a pc on the local network. I later found out the same program doing ssh (open_ssh) was also doing sftp, great I could do both with one system account. Problem I couldn't find away to configure another user to go over the web with limited folder access without messing up my user to access the pc. I tried ftps by using vsftpd, I couldn't get chroot set up correctly or even log in. So my question is what program and/or protocol should I use to do secure ftp over the web?
