[opensuse] The Perfect Setup - OpenSuSE 10.2 (32-bit)
This is a detailed description about how to set up an OpenSuSE 10.2 based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web server (SSL-capable), mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server, POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc.). I will use the following software: * Web Server: Apache 2.2.0 * Database Server: MySQL 5.0 * Mail Server: Postfix * DNS Server: BIND9 * FTP Server: proftpd (ISPConfig will not work with vsftpd on OpenSUSE 10.2) * POP3/IMAP: I will use Maildir format and therefore install Courier-POP3/Courier-IMAP. * Webalizer for web site statistics In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box). http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_opensuse_10.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The "Perfect Setup" series howtoes are very very nice for setting up a web/mail/dns hosting solution. I've been using it for a year or so now along with ISPconfig on Debian for just that. My only complaint is the way in which ISPconfig handles usernames for mail accounts. Account names in general look something like "web18_username." So for mail you get a username which looks different from your e-mail address. For that reason I've setup postfix with MySQL and postfixadmin web interface, which gives me username = e-mail address. Much easier for clients to remember. If anyone who knows MySQL well knows which table contains the e-mail address, I might get courier to authenticate against that instead of against pam.

Knoda is great for browsing Mysql tables. But, it would seem that just biting the bullet and going to ldap would make more sense. That is the preferred way for SLES, and although it is dramatically different than the traditional suse (opensuse), its pretty neat because ldap is used for everything, users mail (even mail for non users, e.g. people with no login account), dhcp setup, dns, etc. Its pretty cool, because it rounds up all those things that linux has scattered all over and puts it in one place. (Just pray it doesn't break!). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Agreed.
(Just pray it doesn't break!). It did. Before I had a chance to figure out what LDAP is, let alone how to back it up and restore it again :-)

Welcome to the club. I did three installs of SLES before I was happy with it. Luckily, I had the time to wipe the machine twice and restart. For that price, it should include a printed manual. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Hi Hans, I do authentication against MySQL with Courier. Unfortunately, Courier from Suse 10.1 has no support for MySQL auth. If you don't mind compiling, you can add the missing pieces. To ease maintenance, I modified the courier-authlib specfile, using the 'original' (from Double Precision, maintainers (?) of Courier) spec-file and made an rpm for courier-authlib-mysql. After that, you have to make an authmysqlrc file in /etc/authlib. authmysqlrc is documented in postfixadmin, I think. Hope this helps, Koenraad lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
