What do you mean 'my own box'? I am not on a dedicated server, but a shared one.

And just to make sure, what are some precautions I can take to patch these security holes, if they are in fact present?

Thanks.

Um, I mean, your own box - your own dedicated server.

Since you are not, and are on a shared server, then the logins you are seeing are naturally going to be from all the other customers who use that server with you.

useless but nice for a small board!

Is that a good or bad thing?

Wow, what a helpful observation. I'm glad you shared your opinion. Pray tell us why you think larger boards would in no way benefit from this addon.

I have installed this hack but when trying to view the server stats I simply get an "Action Cancelled" or "Page cannot be displayed" page. I have changed permissions as well and it has not helped.

I am also using VB3 RC3 if that helps any.

If you are on a shared server, your host may have disabled access to top and other such commands. If it's a dedicated server, php may be running in safe mode?

This is a dedicated server at EV1Servers.net, Dual Xeon server. Safe Mode is of for all sites on the box. Any other ideas? :ermm:

I downloaded this and installed it and it is a very neat tool. But the downfall to it is that it sucks up your system memory and almost brings your server to a hault. I am on a VPS with memory and this is what happend to me when I tried it twice.

Well, I host my private forums with the same machine at the same place, and it works for me. :)

As for memory hogging, this script is meant to be run only once in a while and is really for dedicated servers.
