Kernel Upgrade & SSL Fixes

Monday, May 19. 2008
I upgraded the OpenSSL version to get rid of the nasty bugs that Debian accidentally introduced. This also coupled with a kernel message, and various sources told me it was a good idea to reboot after the SSL upgrade (just to make sure), and decided to bite the bullet.

In this upgrade, PHP was upgraded to 5.2.6, ClamAV was upgraded, the kernel was updated, OpenSSL/SSH/etc too.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Blogging plan!

Monday, March 10. 2008
Pop the champagne, throw on your evening gown, get this party started. We've just released the very first packaged "plan" for hosting, and boy howdy is it exciting.

For those who are interested in basic web hosting specifically for blogging, We've got the plan for you.

For only $3.00/mo, you can get 300Mb of space, FTP access, a pre-installed Habari blog (Packed with fantastic themes and plugins), a free E-Mail account (or forwarder), AND the option of getting a custom-made blog theme from a professional designer.

This might not seem like much, but combine that with the quality of Itrebal Webhosting, its flexibility, and its support, and you get a smokin'-hot deal thats ripe and ready to eat.

Kernel Upgrade

Thursday, February 14. 2008
There was a pretty nasty bug discovered in the Linux kernel version I was using that allowed those with SSH access to create a program that escalated their privileges and allowed them to take control of the server. I've upgraded the kernel and resolved the issue successfully, with a very minimal amount of downtime.

Information regarding the exploit: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464953

PHP Upgrade

Only one day after the release of PHP 5.2.5, I've updated PHP to it. There shouldn't be any issues regarding it. If there are, let me know.

SSL/TLS SMTP, POP, IMAP

All of the email services should fully support SSL/TLS now.

If you would care to use it, simply connect to itrebal.com as the server.
