[cPanel-News] Potential backup issues on servers with disabled /bin/tar

[Eric Gregory]

It has been brought to our attention that backups are not running
properly on servers that have disabled /bin/tar.  To eliminate this  
issue before
it becomes a problem please check the following:

Permissions on /bin/tar should be 755.  This can be accomplished from
a root shell via the following command:
root at host [~]# ls -l /bin/tar

If the result of that command starts as follows you are all set and
everything should be working:

-rwxr-xr-x

If not, please execute the following command:
root at host [~]# chmod 755 /bin/tar

As always, if you have any questions or run into any problems our
technical team is standing by to offer any assistance you may need by
