Wheather you choose to tie up a second ip address or not doesn't really matter -that much is up to you. Question 2: I don't know if you can have two of the same usernames on a machine, but I do know it's possible to host user@onedomain.com, and (same) user@another.net on the same machine. I'm assuming you're using sendmail? (Or have you setup QMAIL?) Anyhow, since sendmail's installed by default with FreeBSD 3.3, here's a quick rundown on how-to do that much: /etc/mail/sendmail.cw: ecbs.com.au enetbiz.com.au /etc/mail/virtusertable: user@ecbs.com.au user user@enetbiz.com.au user1 then you'll need to hash the virtusertable, (I wrote a simple shell script to do it, goes something like this): #!/bin/sh clear echo 'Removing old sourcefile' rm /etc/mail/sourcefile echo 'Creating new sourcefile' cp /etc/mail/virtusertable /etc/mail/sourcefile echo 'Updating the Virtual User Aliases File' makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/sourcefile echo 'Restarting sendmail' killall -HUP sendmail echo 'Done.' Question 3: I don't believe it's possible to do virtual ftp hosting with FreeBSD's stock ftpd, you'll propably have to look to an ftpd replacement. I know of people using Opre FTPD to do virtual ftp hosting, but I've never used it myself, maybe someone else will have the answer to this one for you. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
