What are the real dangers of shared hosting ? Ravet Bulla 05-08-2004

If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
Can't find more appropriate groups....maybe the Unix security one or
something..so
thanks for any help

Anyway,often people talk about the dangers in having a website on a shared
hosting system. Why is it so dangerous ? Is it that if the host supports telnet
or ssh it is theoretically possible to see browse every one's home direcotry
and grab and alter files ?

Is it possible to trick a script on websiteA into revealing info about website
B (both are on the same host) ?

Please can someone give some examples and scenarios of these and other dangers
associated with shared hosting thanks

Rav
