I would have to agree with this opinion. If the hosting company is not responsive to reports of intrusion, then it is also likely that the hosting company is not proactive in preventing intrusions. I've had similar issues in the past and the compromises were ultimately traced to poor configuration of the underlying server by the hosting company. Remember, if they can get root/administrator on the underlying server, it doesn't matter what you as the client do with your password, setup, etc. Not even a virtual machine that you fully control will be safe from a compromise of the underlying host server. Find a hosting provider that has a reputation for securing their systems and responding rapidly to intrusion reports. Even if it costs a little more each month, the time saved by having the hosting company protect the underlying system is well worth it. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
