Hello All!
I've been playing with my install of FreeVSD 1.4.9, and so far like it.
I have run into a couple minor problems, however:
1. Normally when I setup a domain on a web server, I make the username
the same as the domain. For example, if I am hosting "domain.com", then
I create a user called "domain.com" (their home directory would be
/home/domain.com in that case). When I tried to do that under FreeVSD,
I was told that the username contained illegal characters. I figured it
was the period, because when I changed the username to domain-com, it
was okay.
I would like to change this default "behaviour", and I thought it would
be in the /etc/profile file, but I didn't see it anywahre. Do you know
where I can change this? If I make the change in the "master" file in
the skel directory, will I also have to make it for each virtual server
that is setup? (well, I only have one, but just thinking ahead!) For
future reference, if I make a change to the Skel (change a file, add a
program, etc.), would a simple "vsd-genskel" make that same change
across all Virtual Servers that are setup?
2. My other "problem" is that I seem to be unable to change the default
behaviour of not allowing root SSH logins. In the Virtual Server, I
changed the "PermitRootLogins" to "yes", and also made the change in the
Skel. I then rebooted the Virtual Server, but it went back to "no". Is
this possible? I know I can just add myself as a regular user then su
to root, but generally, I prefer logging in directly to root, since it
doesn't make much of a difference in my mind.
3. Finally, while logged in as admin on a virtual server, I don't seem
to be able to restart the httpd service. When I isue
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd", it says:
it can't find /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions;
"daemon" command not found; and
permission denied to create the httpd file in /var/loc/subsys
I get around it by rebooting the virtual server as root of the hosting
server, but that's not acceptable, in my mind. Is there a fix for this?
Maybe fixing up some directory permissions?
I'll prolly have a look around my system later tonite to see if i ca
solve this issue, but I have to get dinner at the moment :-)
Anyway, thanx for your help!
