I have been using Joomla since 1.0 and I can tell that it is an awesome software. All the websites I do are done with Joomla.

Last week one of my dearest customers was worried about having enabled recursiveness in his server.

Today I was in an odd situation. I was needing to block a user to do crontabs; after reading, I found the files /etc/{at,cron}.{deny,allow}. By default, the .deny files exist and the .allow ones do not.
