 | View Full Version : ssh mysql services.. dev1 12-10-2002, 01:44 PM hi there.. i wanted to know how to disable services on ssh.. i really wanted to disable mysql via shell since users already have access to phpmyadmin.. any help would be ace! thanks. rcs 12-10-2002, 02:47 PM NO NO NO!!! :eek: you got it all figured wrong. I can't even think about how to explain to you how a unix system works and what's a shell. Just do your self a favore and DONT configure your server. apollo 12-10-2002, 03:09 PM :) ssh is for a remote shell access :) dev1 12-10-2002, 03:18 PM im hurt now.. can't i just remove mysql* from users bin directory. Perlboy 12-11-2002, 01:02 AM No you can't since at a guess there's a common mysql binary for the entire system. You COULD set the permissions to not allow execution except for say root, but that MAY cause issues with other system level functions (ie. control panels etc.) Good luck, Stuart skelley1 12-11-2002, 01:20 AM maybe u should just disable ssh access. rcs 12-11-2002, 09:09 AM Originally posted by dev1 im hurt now.. can't i just remove mysql* from users bin directory. Actualy you *can*, since phpmyadmin doesn't use that binary. However, If user have shell access what will prevent him from ftping somewhere and downloading a precompiled binary? There's a name for what you want to do, it's called "security by obscurity" UH-Matt 12-11-2002, 10:25 AM why not just not allow ssh access if your that bothered ? :D |
