Sorry to reactivate an old thread, but there are so many questions in my little head...

Am I right in thinking that the main threat from hackers comes from other customers on the same server, being able to sidestep into your account because it's not jailed??

I sort of understand this because it was like this at my University. We could just ftp our accounts and then go up a level to see everyone elses... a little naughty :)

If I am right, then how can I tell if accounts are jailed on my host??

Well this explains a lot, thanks again to all that posted such great info in here.  Just a little bump for those like me that have spent most of last night and this morning wondering why the world came crashing down, and then it appears that a mod changed some permissions.

I dont know if they can do that or not but I installed some mods, and then several things started screwing up, after much todo I saw that my permissions were all out of whack.
