So you need to setup the chrooted smrsh and setup the mailman groups and

Got that covered, been putting everything in both /etc and chroot etc .


The main problem I had at the time was getting python to work inside the
Chroot.  I had to install it from source inside the Chroot (the system
version was way behind).

I have seen no problem with that yet, maybe I have not gotten far enough? I can certainly run the Python set up in the Chroot and see if it helps.


I'll take you up on that! That's why I'm sharing my notes.

Appreciate it. My first attempt hosed my server and all the sites went down - but I had back ups of changed files and we able to recover in a heart stopped 90 seconds. Apparently changes in /etc/group and/or /etc/passwd must be accompanied by a change some place else as my httpd restart failed with:


Processing config file: /etc/httpd/conf/virtual/site1
httpd: bad group name admin1

I'm guessing I need to go to that file and change 'Group admin1' to 'Group 12' ?

The again there is /etc/appliance/apacheconf/site1 with the same entry. Google here I come.

Thee:
I don't think this is exactly true.  Your chroot environment has a
limited amount of UserID's and GroupID's that are available to be used
inside (and really outside as well) the Chroot.

I've seen this mentioned on a number of Ensim lists, it just won't work with anything over 755. When I get far enough it matters, I'll dig into it more.


As for lack of web pages, I assume that is because the cgi programs don't run? Are the web pages real or created on the fly? And if real, where are they supposed to reside? I tried manually creating pages and could not get to them, apparently a redirect was sending me else where. I have not dissected it yet, but any hints would be appreciated.
