The vpslogin program allows control panel users to login to the compute node and access their xen consoles directly using their control panel credentials. This is useful for example to reset the root password. Accessing the Xen console required root privileges. That executable makes sure that the user logging in gets access only to his VMs.

Need to put /usr/local/sbin/vpslogin suid on the compute node for it to work correctly.

Code: Select all

chmod u+s /usr/local/sbin/vpslogin

Without suid:
