Virtual hosting solutions
Hi folks I'm currently in the need of a complete virtual hosting solution. I'm seeking something with as few administration overhead as possible (I'm lazy and this is going to be a private service, nothing commercial, I don't get paid, so we need to reduce work ;) and as featurerich as possible. What it needs to have: - support for dns, http, pop, imap (encrypted companions as well), smtp auth (important), webmail - maybe cvs - command line tools to check/debug/add things would be nice - webfrontend for each domain (so the people can configure mail aliases themselves, and ftp accounts if they need) I'm completely independent in the backend choice, but I think it will scale down to either LDAP, mysql or pgsql. Anyone can give some hints what backend has which advantages and disadvantages? There will be a max of 50-70 domains, so it does not need to be hyperperformant, all services also run on one system. Any hints, URLS or tools are welcome. Any comments and experience reports are very welcome :) Oh, and btw, there isn't any complete virtual hosting solution in debian, maybe it's time to change that. Building such a system by just installing one package might be very tempting to switch to debian as the first server choice for people who haven't done so yet :-) MfG/Regards, Alexander -- Alexander Reelsen Seeking for a job as Linuxdeveloper administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://tretmine.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Oracle 9i on Linux

If you want authenticated smtp traffic, you probably should use encrypted smtp traffic too.
