Remote IP address no longer appearing in notices of 'root login' using su
WHM 11.48.1 (build 2)
Since the email notifications changed from plain text to HTML after a recent update, the new messages show only 0.0.0.0/"local machine" for the following alert for login via su - it used to show a valid IP (of my ISP, for example if I was the one logging in).
Subject: Root Login from Local Machine
Successful Root Login from Local Machine.
Service: su
Local User triggering request: shurfam
Remote IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Authentication Database: system
Username: root
This notice is the result of a request made by a computer with the IP address of "0.0.0.0" through the "su" service on the server.

Case numbers: 173073 and 173085 Thank you! 0 -
Internal case number 173085 is open to address the issue that occurs when logging in as a user and then using su to switch over to root. The IP provided shows logins from 0.0.0.0 instead of your actual IP address when this occurs. You can monitor our change log for the inclusion of this case number: 0
