shell access to any box will significantly decrease security. so i don't think this is a good idea, especially because i find myself usually using configurations that are very specific to my sites. but on the upswing, doing so i learn a whole lot more than from other people's configs.
that's why there are HOWTOs, man, and this mailing list - because if you need help, someone may decide to mail you configs or give you temporary shell access. i'll help if you have a specific question, i am fairly down with most unix admin concepts. so will everyone else here. a public server poses several problems - funding, maintenance, security, generality etc. martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- the nice thing about windoze is - it does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'ok' first.
