The Postfix module is excellent as well. When I do papers in front of newbies to Linux I always recommend the following. ###################################################################### Install webmin and configure it for your language. Before you do anything make backups of a .config you want to change in a shell. As example: cp -v /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.webmin Then in webmin change some settings and look at the backup and into the changed .config to actually see what webmin did. Start the service and work with it to actually feel what actions have been taken. If they are no good for you stop the service and replace the file ... cp -v /etc/proftpd.webmin /etc/proftpd.conf Consider always to have a .config.webmin _before_ you touch .config's with webmin because you will not be able to revert settings to the original state. Webmin always writes into the .config directly and there is no /etc/proftp.conf~ or something like this. After a while you will know what are the perfect settings for your system and you should save them as cp -v /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.mybest maybe ;-) And doing this on all the files you want to change a little bit more you will at least not using webmin anymore for particular purposes, because you will see that not all is possible with webmin. Then you will ask "man" about this problem and a little time later you will know better than webmin ;-) ###################################################################### @Aly - I think this is a "General" FAQ-candidate, isn't it? kind regards Martin Mewes -- Novacote Flexpack - Division of COIM Deutschland GmbH c/o IT/IS-Department - Hamburg - Germany -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
