Mailman within VHOST
Hello all,
I'm attempting to setup Mailman for just one vhosted user.
Once mailman was installed (via apt) I edited the mm_cfg.py to reflect the
default url and host.
I created a lists. subdomain vhost and made the DocumentRoot the mailman
root (/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin). Then restarted Apache.
When I went to lists./listinfo I get a garbled output. Inbetween the
mess I can see it complaining about the UIG/GID but alas the script doesn't
tell me what gid/uid it's getting (looks like the script isn't being run
correctly to me).
Below is the vhost entry and it's corresponding Directory directive. Please
forgive the dropping of domain/ip data, it's not needed.
Note that I've attempted to use User and Group directives to set the uid/gid
to: www-data (should be the default for any host w/o a user/group directive
anyway) and the list user.
I also set the MAILMAN_UID and MAILMAN_GID to list and www-data to no avail.
Any insight would be wonderful.
# User list - Also tried manually setting to www-data
# Group list - Same as above
DocumentRoot /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin

For ftp I already do that. This box does provide shell access though. That's the reason I was looking at things like FreeVSD (looks good and they 'say' they are working on a Debian port but no developer has ever answered my questions about it). The apache problem has been solved so the home dir's can be 700'ed the users and I don't want to make them use rbash (since many of the users are programmers this would be silly) so I'll have to devise some other means of securing the box a bit more.

That's what I was thinking but this is also the first time the box hasn't been chroot'ed for users. The idea was to have non-world readable home dir's. There must be some way to do this. Is adding the www-data user into each new uesrs group the way to go? I'm still against NOT having a chroot'ed jail for the users but it's not my choice. A.Sleep.
Apache suEXEC Question
Oddly, this is the first time I've had this issue... I've added my User and Group directives in the vhosts in my vhost.conf and I'm getting Forbidden errors. Here's an example: The User and Group directives are set to foo Here's an -ls -l of /home/f/ and /home/f/foo/ ls -l /home/ drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Oct 11 09:51 f ls -l /home/f/ drwxrwx---7 foo foo 4096 Oct 12 08:37 foo ls -l /home/f/foo/ drwxr-sr-x2 foo foo 4096 Oct 12 08:37 logs drwxr-sr-x 24 foo foo 4096 Oct 12 08:37 public_html Any ideas why I'm getting forbidden errors? I've never gotten errors before when setting this up, but I've never used the /home// setup before either, is this an issue? A.Sleep

Webmin modules can be installed right through the webmin interface using HTTP. I don't have a box w/ webmin on it right now, but I last used it two weeks ago.

vmailmgr issue
I'm sure there is a way... I'm just bashing my head against the wall now... I'm attempting to setup vmailmgr on my Sid box and I can't get it to run. I first installed from source but I wasn't sure of the install so I alien'ed the RPMs and now I feel - slighly - more confedent. I had to move some files around but it _looks_ right. I've also installed ucspi-tcp but this did not give me a needed file "unixserver". Has anyone gotten vmailmgr to run on a Debian box? Is there some deb's anywhere? I couldn't find any.

Still Messing With Mail...
Oh Kay... I've gone back to postfix and courier beacuse every other solution just didn't seem to work quite right. Since I havn't the time (nor the patiance) to get a better system in place it's gonna stay this way :) Hopefully final questions from me about vhost mail: 1. Am I right in setting postfix up this way? I currently (and previously) have had to edit the virtual file for every user then run postmap. I'm going to add this action into an adduser script but I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to do it. I attempted postfix+mysql for mapping but the lack of documentation I could find just confused the heck outta me. 2. How can I set the users default domain when the send mail via mutt/xmailer? If there was an anti-mail-admin it would be me. A.Sleep -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
VHost/hosting Administration System
I've found a few 'control panel' or 'vhosting administration' systesm out there but they have two major flaws. 1. They are RHAT specific 2. They are sorely incomplete I've always done vhosting/virt-users admin by hand but this is getting quite tedious. If anyone has any hints as to a mail-admin system or complete control system please send `em my way. I'm currently using postfix but I have seen there will be many more options if I use Qmail (this may or may not be true). Thanks for the advise in advance...
