Why wouldnt you check the settings on any piece of software before you use it? If you just install something and reboot, then you deserve whatever happens to your system. You always check the settings of anything you install before you use it.

You dont have to disable CPHulk, but ive found i dont need it. CPHulk is a little less secure imo because it wont block the attacker, it just prevents them from logging in. Thats not enough for me i prefer to block an attacker so they cant do other things to my customers systems.

3) ASL requires a kernel upgrade, system admins are often reluctant to making big changes to a running system (it takes time and if something goes wrong it can get expensive). I'm strictly speaking about small business here Not sure why you think that, I dont use the ASL kernel with asl, and it say...

asl-lite was End of Life a couple of years ago, see the product page:

ASL Lite

Note: ASL Lite is End of Life and is no longer supported. Please use ASL.

Have you tried emailing support@atomicorp.com as described on their support page?

what makes you think asl has anything to do with this? it looks like your hosting company said this was being caused by cpanel iptables. have you even contacted cpanel support?

You're hosting company says iptables is using up most of your memory? I dont think they know what they are talking about, iptables doesnt use memory, its just a tool, it runs, it quits. It doesnt use memory. This is a bit like a mechanic telling you that you need a new car because all your tires are...

Yep but why do they have the edit button in there man if you can't do that?

well the documentation does say not to do it.

if this helps, we had issues with Virtuzzo too, as its support for iptables seems incomplete (before ASL). We constantly ran into issues with modules either missing or the host server was just bloody out of date. Might that be what's happening to you?

just crious, but what was the cause?
