1. chmod 000 public_html
2. chown root:root public_html
That will prevent files under public_html from being served, and prevent them from enabling it again.RACK911 Labs | Penetration Testing | https://www.RACK911Labs.ca

every option i could think of (including the ones mentioned above) allow the user to un-suspend themselves if they wanted.

You can disable a file or directory by changing it's permission.

Hello,
You could try creating the following .htaccess file containing. It would cripple anything in the webroot. This however would still allow any outbound scripts to work.
Redirect 301 / http://domain.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

create .htaccess file and past the following code.
single ip address access
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.1.1
http://www.yourdomain.com/.htaccess
multiple ip address access
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.1.1
allow from 192.168.1.2
allow from 192.168.1.3
Authorize the ip for your client only he will be able to access site without any problem no one else.Build your dream otherwise someone will hire you to build their dreams.

No they don't (or they shouldn't).
If you change ownership of public_html to root:root, nobody should be able to change that back.
.htaccess files will be easily removed by the user, theoretically.
If you want to REALLY suspend things (without suspending the account):
Code:chown root:root /home/username chmod 000 /home/username

proftpd running without pam (such as the config cpanel does) allows you to do many things to override file permissions, regardless of their ownership or permissions.
#touch testfile
#chmod 000 testfile
#chown root:root testfile
ftp> Command: DELE testfile
ftp> Response: 250 DELE command successful
#ls testfile
ls: cannot access testfile: No such file or directory
edit: i think its the lack of pam that allows it to happen, not sure tho.Last edited by anythingss; 09-06-2011 at 09:16 PM.

all the more reason to switch from proftpd.
If you follow the advice about chmoding /home/user and changing ownership, the user has nowhere to login to, even with ftp programsTom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire
