I’m wondering if you can use add-on domains as users. IOW, you install the child blog in the subdirectory that cPanel assigns for the add-on domain. That way you could have multiple domains being controlled by the same WP install.

actually, I’m rather new to linux, being a fbsd’er for a number of years, but I never really understood iptables. This script is exactly what I needed, I thank you

heh, thanks, but I managed to figure it out. I use IRC (Internet Relay Chat) – there are many guru people available all hours, in all timezones.

so, it turns out it was a linefeed problem, something to do with my editors. (running debian 2.6.26)

This was fixed by typing: perl -p -i -e ‘s/r$//g’ firewall.sh
firewall.sh is the file i have named inside /etc/init.d – with update-rc.d firewall.sh defaults

What OS?
If you add in the top ‘set -x’ then run it it should tell you exactly what it was doing when it died (feel free to email me the output for diagnosis liz @ velofille dot come)

I’d also add mod_qos, which allows a simple, lightweight protection against slowloris DDoS attacks.

I wonder how many dare implement mod_defensible… what will it do to your stats (:

Another related tool, to prevent accidental reboots of servers this time, is molly-guard:

It asks you to type the hostname of the machine you want to reboot as an extra confirmation step.
