wolstech Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 You're suspended for a root symlink. I'm not sure if Krydos can fix these or if we even unsuspend or not... Escalating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfbfan Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Given it's bowl season, I have a lot of work to do on the site, so hope my account is restored very soon. If I understand the issue correctly, a symbolic link was created in /root by an ordinary user account.This should not be possible on any correctly configured *nix system.The permissions on the super user's home directory may have been altered and/or such a link was actually created by someone with superuser privileges Johnny continues to have problems, as I have seen today on the monitoring page. It's very possible that the superuser account has been compromised. The problem is certainly worth investigating, but my account is not the cause of this particular issue or the continuing outages on Johnny, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Johnny's poor performance/downtime is completely normal due to us offering more features than any other server and not restricting resource usage as much as on Tommy. In addition, Johnny's hardware (Charlie) is also much older and has significantly lower specifications than Tommy. Johnny has always had terrible performance in the 6 years I've been here, so that's nothing new. Johnny is also intended as an experimental server, though in recent times he's been used by many for production sites despite performance issues due to a lack of other working servers. I don't know what actually causes this specific suspension though, so we'll have to wait for krydos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Your account was probably hacked. This is pretty common on wordpress sites. Most free themes and plugins are just loaded with malware and backdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfbfan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 The account is still suspended, so why was this marked "solved"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfbfan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 that the account cannot be unsuspended in one instance, yet the solution in the other case is to use another account, which was created against the rules So, should I just create another account on Johnny?

Krydos Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Would you like a Johnny invite link sent to your Helionet contact email address so you don't have to wait until tomorrow to create a new account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfbfan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yes, please.Would I need a new heliohost domain? (It was cfphq.heliohost.org)I also have my own .com - would that have to be "deleted" on Johnny so it can be pointed to the ?new? helihost domain?

Krydos Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Invitation sent. I cleared up the cfphq.heliohost.org domain so you can reuse it if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
