Hi All!

I think I'm ready to take the "next" step, and basically generate a skel
based upon the services I wish to install on the server myself, instead of
using a pre-built one.  I will be installing on a Trustix 1.5 box (based
on RH6.2), and *everything* will be installed via RPM.  Here is what I
will be using, and just wanted to know if there was anything "special" I
needed to do (tweaks, config options in the SPEC file, etc.):

Web
---
- Apache 1.3.23
- mod_php4 4.1.2
- mod_perl 1.26
- mod_ssl (using OpenSSL 0.9.6c)
- Webalizer 2.0.1

Mail
----
- courier-IMAP
- (MAYBE Squirrelmail)
- sendmail + vpopmail OR qmail + vmailmgr

(qmail + vmailmgr is preferred; if Qmail is used, the other utilities
like uscp-tcp, checkpassword, etc. will also be installed)

Database
--------
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- (POSSIBLY OpenLDAP)
- related Perl modules (DBI, DBD-mysql, DBD-pgsql, etc.)

Miscellanous
------------
- OpenSSH
- ProFTPd
- possibly a couple other relatively minor things I am forgetting

Some questions regarding this:

1) For the most part, will I just simply be able to install the RPMs,
and generate the Skel?  Any issues I sould watch out for with any of the
above?

2) I know some people have been able to get Qmail to work when installed
individually on a VS, but has anyone been able to put it into a Skel, and
used on a general basis, like Sendmail?

3) If I need to do some "tweaking", is it with regards to the ./configure
options (which I can change in the SPEC files), or would it be from within
the source code itself?

Uhm, those are the only questions I can think of at the moment, tho there
may be more.  I appreciate your input.  Thanx, in advance!
