Title: New home server
Post by: paul bearne on August 21, 2002, 01:21:46 AM

Hi all

I am setting e-smith up as my firewall/server at home contecting via cable modem to world outside

I am have couple of domains none of which am planing to host on this server but I would like the mail to come from bearne.com am I right to call the server bearne.com in the host names

I seem to have a problem sending mail to bearne.com from webmail as it see as it self

I have set a dynamic dns so that I can see the server from outside

Please can I have any advice as how best to set this type setup up

Can I get the server to backup other win95 machine on the network

and how do I tell how much space is left on the server ( In stalled 3 X 2g drives it the setup use all of the space if how do expand the drives

what lot of questions Thank to any abody for any help on any of them

To tell how much space you have on server try using:-

df -h

or

not sure about this either. keep your files on the server and backup the server

look on the www.e-smith.org site for contributed rpms

share the drive/folder on win95 - no password

smbmount the share on the server

# mkdir /mnt/backup
# smbmount //win95_name/sharename /mnt/backup
# password    (just hit enter - win95 don't need password)

cp the data from the share to the server
#cp -R /mnt/backup/* /path/to/backup/dir/

umount the share
#umount /mnt/backup
