Maybe you should start with the rationale of why you want to do this..... because there may be much simpler, easier ways to do it.
A group I belong to asked me. I think it's because I said I use Linux, and they must have figured I was a 'guru' or something, heh.
For example, for about $7/month I know where you can get a dandy hosted site that will do all this for you and provide good controls for setting up email accts, ftp, web hosting, etc.... a lot for the money.
Will I be able to 'manage' it myself? Like change things on the website, open new accounts for new users, etc ? Thanks for the offer, I'd like to take a look at it if you don't mind.
Basically you have a lot to learn.... (not a put down) You didn't once mention a domain name or static ip address. Although you can use a dynip.org or such, you're adding to the complexity. Much better to have a domain name which also could be applied to my scenario above.
So what's your pleasure?
Reading yours and Ian's posts didn't give me *any* pleasure whatsoever! Ya brutes! LOL Now I have to tell my 'group leader' all the bad news...at least until Bruce turns me on to the 'host' thing and I learn a little more about it, heh.
Thanks guys, I really appreciated the input on this. (No sarcasm meant)
