Did you run into any issues (and > solve them)? Hmm... It's not like that. Currently, we're using CentOS as based distribution, that's because of the support. But having quite a lot of security problems, I'm seriously thinking about switching to OWL with Plesk/cPanel. I got to recalculate many things so thi won't be an easy decision :/ Thanks to the notes of Galaxy now I can see how the things needs to be done to get Plesk working - that's really important. > > > Setting up Plesk on OWL is awesome solution, especially when it comes to > > security ... > > Actually, I wouldn't call Plesk (or cPanel for that matter) installed on > any OS reasonably secure for my own use.

Especially, when we had a critical security issues thanks to the 2.6.x kernels :/ You're absolutely right writting about killing security by Plesk/cPanel :/ > Actually, posting to owl-users is quite close to placing text marked > "experimental" on the web since there are web-based archives of this > list.

I've an idea :) Solar, what do you thing about creating something like 'how to' link at the http://openwall.com/Owl ? Owl-users could post here, the ready step by step solutions, the rest of list could make/annonce/apply :) "patches" to the text, and after that, the solution could finally go at the web :-) The people who're visiting Openwall's website could see that the distribution has ready to use solutions so they don't need to gooooogle to get things done :) That's really helpful, especially for new users :-) -- Krzysztof ¦niadoch <krzysiek at securenet.pl> http://www.securenet.pl - Information Technology http://hosting.securenet.pl - Dzia³ Hostingu [ GPG KeyID: 1F7969B8 ] fp: 4E13 4F89 0A17 A47F 883B 6855 421B E4E8 1F79 69B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail owl-users-unsubscribe@private and reply to the automated confirmation request that will be sent to you.
