Default various small issues

1)
Account: 213.175.201.24

Yesterday I went through the 'CFS warnings' on my first account, and got rid of the ones I wanted without any problems. Today I tried the same thing on my new, second account, and everything seemed to go ok again. However, I now get this email every hour:
Quote:
/etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl:

DBI connect('modsec:localhost','modsec',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19
Unable to connect to mysql database at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19.
On the internet, the solution was described as looking at the password in modsecparse.pl, and copying that to the modsec user in phpmyadmin -> privileges.

I tried that, but I'm still getting the emails.

Another internet suggestion was to uninstall the modsec plugin in easyapache, and then reinstall it and rebuild apache again. This seems a bit drastic, but would that work?

Any other ideas?

I have two VPS-01 accounts. Am I supposed to have access to something called 'virtuozzo power panel' on port 4643? It just times-out on both when I try.
I got the information from here:
What is Virtuozzo Power Panel? | Web Hosting UK | Dedicated Servers | VPS Hosting

3)
Today the firewall blocked my IP, and the only way back in was to ask in the chat. My IP is dynamic and changes several times a day (my wireless router loses dns every few hours and needs to be reset; the IP changes every time), so it is useless to add my IP's to the CFS 'ignore' files.

If I get blocked again, is there a way to remove my IP from the CFS/LFD deny-lists myself?

4)
On my first account ( 213.175.201.228 ), Drupal cron.php is causing 'suspicious process' emails.
In the LFD 'file ignore' config I tried adding: */cron.php
However, that hasn't stopped the emails.
Any ideas what's wrong with the syntax?
I basically want LFD to ignore every cron.php file on the server when they run.

Sorry for the odd 'hotch-potch' of issues!
Thanks.
