Is a writable file security hole? The use of quotas on the account the PHP process runs as (same as the web httpd process, most likely). |

Scripting Directory Services without passwords Any reason why NIS wasn't used? NFS-mounted /etc files just seems... wrong. |

banned IP addresses when buying a dedicated server and email spam +1 I went through this, and after wasting my time fighting with individual blacklist maintainers (some helpful, most not), I decided that the IP space I was rented was defective and told the provider as much. They first tried to fix things themselves with the blacklists, but they, too, grew tired of it so they gave me a fresh, untainted subnet. |

create image from hard disk without free space (linux) For a filesystem-agnostic solution, you can fill the filesystem with nulls ("dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/file ; rm /some/file") and then use dd's "conv=sparse" option. The downsides are: 1) This will be less efficient than a tool which knows the filesystem; and 2) so far as I can tell, using anything other than dd's default 512-byte block size will cause this to not work (or at least miss enough sparse space as to be useless), which will dramatically increase the time for dd to do its job. |

Using subdomains for test-site That's cool! I always like to explicitly name everything (I don't like surprises), so this option was unknown to me. I'll have to jot this one down for future reference. I can see where it might come in handy. |
