I am not sure if this question been asking for dozens of times, but I really wonder how you all manage a Cpanel box to restrict the end users' rights.

Those such as "Cron jobs" "stupid java chat" even the "edit MX entry" etc make no sense to me to be appeared in Cpanel. The most annoying thing is I can't turn them off or remove the links unless I modified myself. Then everything get restored after upgrading a lastest patch from Layer 2.

I walked through several demo pages from different hosts and I found all of them leave it as default, which also means that all users can create cron, viewing uptime and memory left, and edit their MX record.

Do you all just leave it as default or you modified like I did everytime when WHM and Cpanel are upgraded?

I have the default, but you can always modify your theme. Lately I've heard about a dynamic theme that lets you enable/disable features, although I don't have other infos about it (you have to buy it, it doesn't come with cpanel). For sure, such feature would be great to have by default in cpanel...in the future maybe..hoping.

Isn't a control panel the easiest way for most clients to setup cron jobs, java chat, mx changes, etc? How else do you propose they do it?

We just leave CPanel as the defualt (advanced panel). After three years we'll never had a problem with the panel. It's job is to provide customers with a great deal of control over their accounts - and Nick does a nice job of keeping things tight.

I should note the main reason we've never moved to a third party panel is concern that they might not keep on top of things.

Is that the icky framed theme where the top is fixed and the bottom scrolls? That thing is a pain to use unless you have the browser window maximized.
