help with script using curl executing ssh commands
hello
im trying to write a script interfacing to WHM again via remote access key. What I want to achieve is to remove an ip from iptables. using PHP script (CURL), any thoughts on how i can remove an ip from iptables? I know the ssh command how to do it but i dont know if it will work via a PHP (CURL) script connecting to WHM via remote access key.

Well WHM itself does not have the ability to remove an IP from iptables.
CSF may have an API to do this, I do not think so but perhaps.
You would probably have to use sudo to have php gain root access in order to remove the IP. The other option is having it run csf/apf to remove the ip, again you will need sudo. There are a *LOT* of security implications of giving apache access to root - even if you restrict it. I never really recommend it and if you do you need to be very aware of just what you are doing.John W, CISSP, C|EH
