FollowSymLinks and SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

[masood_y]

I need to pervent users for make SymLinks to other directory.

I have following setting in httpd.conf:

<Directory "/">
    Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes IncludesNOEXEC -Indexes -MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

I have following setting in litespeed (Server -> General -> Security)

File Access	

Follow Symbolic Link	If Owner Match
Check Symbolic Link	Yes
Required Permission Mask	       000
Restricted Permission Mask	000

I have version 4.0.3 on my server too. But user can make SymLinks to other directory too.

Please help me for stop it.

Thank You very much.

There is no way to prevent a user running a perl script to create a symbolic link pointing to another user's file, unless you want to disable perl completely. However, does not like Apache, 4.0.3 enforces "SymLinksIfOwnerMatch", nobody can override it via .htaccess with "Options +FollowSymLinks" in order to view the content of the file.

As long as the access to the file is blocked, nothing to worry about.

Please stopping asking the same question again and again, it has been solved. You can post to webhostingtalk see if you can get a better answer there.
