network boot LFS image?

2006-11-24 Thread Steve Prior
Yesterday I was goofing around and set up support for network booting server support (BOOTP, TFTPD, NFS). I was wondering if anyone else had played around with setting up a bootable image for LFS kind of like the LiveCD, but which would boot the machine over the network and then use a NFS mounted

I must have forgotten to install something! Or there's a environment variable to change. But I can't determine that alone, I don't know. Maybe you have an idea? I can search later, but just now,I don't have enough time to do a big searching. If someone experiences this program, it would be faste

I'm curious as I was recently considering replacing an existing sendmail based system and given the pain of setting it up the first time I'm considering alternatives. What is the downside of qmail? Why the "all or nothing" philosophy? I'm looking for something that I can easily deal with virtua

Allowing ftp and email, but not shell access

2005-08-24 Thread Steve Prior
I'd like to set up a few accounts on my LFS box which can FTP (or SSH) files for a web page and store email, but deny actual command line access. I haven't yet found a way to pull this off. Can anyone provide some starting points? Steve -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-su
