Topic: New user to SME few questions need help please

[exy123]

Hey

I'm new SME user got a few questions of features i can't find in documentation or the server:

1. What is the command from ssh access to change network settings like in Suse it is yast or normal redhat it is setup ...

2. Does the sme server support out of office / auto reply messages and where does one set it for a user ?

Thanks

1.  You can configure ip addresses of the server by logging in to the ssh console with
user: admin
pass: your root password

2. Out of Office replies are not in the 6.0.1 base distro, but they are in the "plus" contributions package on this site at http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/SME6.0.1Contribs

The contrib creates a new panel in the server-manager.

Hope this helps
David.

Yes thanks I got the user manager installed now , makes much more sense.

But I know I must do it from ssh access to change the network settings what I'm looking for is the command that starts the utility to do that.

Thanks

No command is required.  When you log in as the user Admin at the local console or via ssh, you will see a menu.  Choose option 2 "configure this server" from the menu... Or am I misunderstanding you?

That is just it when I log in remotely via SSH I do not get the console I get when i am infront of the box , i'm looking for that command to bring up that console with a remote ssh session or can that console only operate in a x-window enviroment ?

So, you can edit your network preferences using the local console. Good.
Regarding the SSH connection, I use PuTTy and this works for me, giving the same console as I get when using local controls at the SME server.  Can you check that you have enabled SSH access using server-manager to the subnets you require. SME doesn't support any x-windows environment.
HTH, David.

It appears that you are logging in wrong through your ssh connection.  You can log in as either "root" or "admin".  The password is the same for both, the one you set up during install.  They will each take you to a differnet place.

login: root
password: your root password

This will get you to a regular linux console.

login: admin
password: your root password

This takes you you to the configuration menu that I think you are looking for.

Hope this helps,

Paul
