Sendmail is allready configured, just edit /etc/sendmail.cf and add your domain Cw stuff. (If you have no clue what im talking about, buy a book) FTP is config_ftp, I suggest you lean permissions off the back of your head if your gonna have a secure FTP server Telnet is automatic.. Since these questions make me think your a newbie, I suggest getting some book from O'Reily, namely "Using Sendmail", "DNS & Bind" and "Essential System Administration".. -- ,.............................................., | Lance Cavener | | cavenerl@nbnet.nb.ca | | cavenerl@novacon.com | `----------------------------------------------' | "The Apple Macintosh is for people who get | | confused with more than 1 mouse button" | | Former lead programmer of OS/2 | `----------------------------------------------'
