Some help from FreeBSD Admins

GunnCat · 2005-03-25, 06:56 PM

Howdy.
We were compromised badly this last week and our sites have been offline for 3 days so far. We are in the process of straightening things up right now. We have moved from Debian to FReeBSD, but we're not sure about what software would be appropriate for us to use. I asked my partner write this:

Quote:

Ok. Tell simply that we need an email solution (POP3+SMTP) that supports multiple domains AND the users can be administered over the web.
And tell that we need an FTP server which is able to change the owner of the uploaded files so that multiple users can edit them easily without running into permission problems. And which also has a webadmin for the users and homedirs. mention that we need the web admin for the administering the email accounts on the different domains.

If anyone has any sugesstions please feel free to list them because Marcell is new to FreeBSD.
Best,
GunnCat

Not sure if you mean you have the FreeBSD box setup or want to find a place to supply that?

xxxhostit.com provides BSD boxes with qmail admin and a custom webmin that sounds like they might come setup to do what you want.

Oi! What's up man? We have a server setup with FreeBSD, we just need some utilities like FTP clients and so forth.

for freebsd their are many virtual mail systems available, it depends what maildaemon you are running qmail sendmail exim, postfix.

if you are running qmail you could run qmailadmin and add your mailboxes from the web. and so forth.

plenty of options.

is your freebsd box managed by your host? if so they should be able to do it for you if not. its up to you.

My server ran FreeBSD very briefly until I found out how hard it was to find a server maintenance group who services FreeBSD. There are people who do, but they tended to be more expensive than those who serviced other flavors of *nix.

Here's a handy page with some intall guides and tweaks. FreeBSD uses 'ports' which can make auto-installing software pretty damned easy.

Here's a list of ports that includes FTP, Mail clients and what-what. http://www.freebsd.org/ports/

Fris, we're managing it ourselves. UW, I sent those links to Marcell, I think he found it very helpful. Thanks guys.
