Next LUG meet: 9 Nov 2003 around 4 pm - VJTI -------------------------------------------- Hi there, Just bought an assembled machine to use it as Sever...foll is the config...
AMD Athalon 2400+ 512 DDR RAM 40 GB Seagate Baracuda HDD (2 - 1 for OS and other for Backup) Asus 8X Motherboard with 2 inbuilt LAN cards 17" LG monitor 52x Iomega External CD-Writer One FDD Sony Now this machine is gonna be server for our local intranet.. We will be running foll stuff for local intranet : Web Server Mail server File Server And Squid for user access and firewall. We have approx 20 pcs on the network. The server will run on RedHat Linux 9 So my questions are... 1. Is this config enough for the server ? 2. Right now current server is running on Win2k machine (Internal IP) and it doesn't have any control over the network...its just used as the gateway.... all the port control is on router (Public IP) so whenever we need to block some port then we need to call ISP and they do it... But now I don't want like that...i want to use the server as router so that I can control everything... Is it possible to do it ? 3. I want something like login system to access the net for everyone.. what script/ authentication system shall I use any idea ? I hope I have explained the things clearly..
