That would be "trusting", not "trustworthy", and I did make it pretty
clear what I was proposing.

You don't. You log in as the normal user and look in your normal
user's home directory. In there, you will find a file giving you the
root password. It's safer that way; everything's done over SSH.

No, I will not. I never made you any promise. If you lose some of your
clients, it is because you have made some very poor decisions,
including to tinker live with this server instead of having a staging
area. All I've done is give your clients a chance to know what you're
doing with their data, which I think is fair enough.

> Do you think this server i rent comes for free with cPanel, Softaculous and other licenses?

Of course not. (In my opinion, cpanel is ridiculously overpriced.)
Most of these sorts of things are either overkill, or utterly trivial;
if you need it, the price is immaterial, but most people simply don't.

Before you get too angry at me, ask yourself this question: Would you
stand for someone giving out access to your system to a third party?
Because that's exactly what you did to your clients. You gave me, a
perfect stranger, full access to *THEIR* data. Do you understand how
serious that is? In addition, you posted me the password in clear text
via email. That's why I changed it - it's entirely possible someone
saw the password in transmission.

This matter is far more serious than you seem to be giving it
consideration for. You complain that I violated your trust; you
violated the trust of people who are paying you money.
