Lines: 37 Message-ID: <43u4at$qj@comet.magicnet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: pm1-26.magicnet.net X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.6+ Hi, I have been working on setting up a host system and have run into several problems that I need some help with. I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 and have the following needs, I want to set up the system for a Host WWW / FTP server and so far after blowing the setup about 10 times to date, If anyone can help me in detail I would be grateful. What typical settings are needed for; Groups - file so that I can execute programs and not get the "command not found" messages, and settings for ( slipp/ppp ) on dialin connections. The related settings for "master.passwd", "passwd" and any other files.to allow dialin accounts other than (ethernet & terminal sessions) I figured out how to getthe dialins and ethernet part working but thats about as far as I have gotten. The other thing that I suspect is that I need to change the ownership and permissions for execution of files and this is so confusing. I can see the program files but only get the "command not found" message even when I check the permission with " ls -l " and structure with " ls -CF " commands. What I need is a complete set of working samples from someone that is running a system to follow as a guide for my system. I learn by example better than trying to figure out some things from scratch from the manuals. I have been told to "go read a book" by several people including those "HELPFUL" people that published the FreeBSD cdrom, This simply does not cut it in my estimation. I read but without seeing working data I just dont seem to get the idea.. I have the distributions of; Httpd , WWW, FTPd and all that stuff and it's interesting but since I have not found any printable manuals with concise information I seem to be lost to some extent. If anyone has the information, Please share it with me... David Hartley hartley@magicnet.net Thanks in advance....
