"Security Questions" does not work (missing security_questions.txt, /internal/security_questions.txt and so on)

Hello,

Today, I would like to enable the Security Questions feature, but it's seems nothing is working on my side.

I don't have any directory /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/lang/en/internal/

directadmin.conf "security_questions" was automatically set to "0" at the install of DA (I manually set it to "1" now)

all user.conf was set to security_questions=no, I changed it to "yes" now.

Now I can access to /evo/user/security-questions without the "this feature has ben disabled" error.

But I still miss the button/link "Add new security question".

I bet that I miss some files inside /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/… ? but I cannot find a recent way to reinstall proper themes.
Executing "packskins.sh" return this error :

tar: The following options were used after any non-optional arguments in archive create or update mode. These options are positional and affect only arguments that follow them. Please, rearrange them properly.
tar: --exclude ‘.svn’ has no effect
tar: --exclude ‘.git’ has no effect
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Also, DA update does not fix the issue.

Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue on the Security Questions feature ?

I think that an additional security layer is a must to secure my DA server

Thanks a lot in advance !

In addition, I need to says that DA Brute Force Monitor is disabled on my side because of a conflict with Imunify360, but I don't think there is something about this "Security Questions" issue ?

Did you restart Directadmin?

Yes sure…

My bad, it seems this feature was removed in the 1.647 version, that's too bad T_T
I really prefer this easy security questions layer than TOTP based Two-Factor authentication.
With 2FA mandatory my users would complain.
By the way, I will try to secure "admin" access with 2FA and let my users without complementary security layer required.
