RE: [cobalt-users] Suspending Sites & Users

["ASU Service" <asuservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Carrie,
Just a thought ... open httpd.conf ... find the desired virtsite then
comment out everything using a # sign. Save & restart Apache ... Oh, you
might want to save a copy before editing for simple reinstatement.

I know for a fact that this causes the site to show a generic Cobalt Page &
I would think it'll kill the users but I don't know for sure.

Like I said ... just something that popped into my mind. Let us know if it
works.

Mike

Okay, now I'm REALLY annoyed.
I was under the impression that when you suspended a site, all of the
user accounts would be suspended as well. Isn't that the whole
point?!?
If someone's site has been suspended for non-payment, then I certainly
don't want them being able to login and get their mail, ftp to their
site and grab the latest files before they run off and stiff me, etc.

But when you suspend a site in the GUI, it does NOT suspend the user!
You have to go in by hand and suspend each user. Otherwise they can
still go along their merry little way and do whatever the hell they
want, they just can't see their site. If they have mail forwarding set
up, even the mail gets forwarded.

This is NOT what I had in mind when I went clicking 'suspend user'
today. Stupid shit.
Some of these sites have 15 users! And going through the GUI to
suspend each and every one is a horribly slow, laborious process.
I've looked at the shell tools and I'd still have to know each
individual username in order to be able to suspend them.

Does anyone know a way of TRULY suspending a site and all user
accounts with one swift stroke? Because doing it the way Cobalt has it
set up is just plain DUMB. I mean really, truly, utterly STUPID. I
don't think there has ever been anything in the GUI that has annoyed
me as much as this. It just does not make sense.

(If you're on a RaQ4, try it yourself. Suspend one of your own sites.
Then proceed to send mail to an account there, watch it go forwarding
happily, log in and get your mail, hop into FTP - may as well not even
bother suspending the site.)

AARRRGGHHH!!
