You all think it's ok, when the server can load plugins from anywhere. Do you need this? Tell me why.
In example one provider have one user for all gameservers on a host. Every customer gets chrooted FTP-Access (virtual users) to his own serverdirectory. So he/she can't access to the other directories. I know you like it more complex and want for everey gameserver his own user. Nice, safty first. Then is the next problem to get the screen for an different user to his gameserver for debuging. Maybe sourcemod hangs or something else. When you like hacks, you can execute as root: chmod 666 `tty`; su -c "screen -r css_27015" customer123 A little nice hack. I know you can use shared screen sessions. You like more complexity. Third example: You are using Teklab and your customer have two gameservers. So the customer can access to his two gameservers, when they are on the same host. In this situation the customer can load plugins from his second gameserver. There are many mini hosters who uses this. You really want to tell me, that you ever have loaded Plugins from outside the serverdirectory? plugin_load "/home/plugins/zBlock/zblock" I don't have tested it until yet, where the server after this writes the logfiles for zblock. Maybe in your addons-directory or outside in /home/plugins/zBlock/zb_logs/? I think its easier and safer to use for this way symlinks. The safest way is, to block only loading plugins, which aren't located in servers directory, but don't break the support for symlinks ;-) 2011/1/21 Marco Padovan <[email protected]>: > Agree to this :| > > Why can a single user access to another customer dir? > I can understand maybe to /tmp or things like that... but another customer > dir?? :/ > > Il 21/01/2011 09:40, Marcel ha scritto: >> >> If the provider really allows access to other customer directories he >> should stop renting servers and do his homework first. >> This is really no job for Valve. >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, >> please visit: >> http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
