== Backups ==<br />
<br />
Backups are being done with Bacula. It deserves [[Admin:Backups|its own page]].<br />
<br />
== DNS ==<br />
<br />
We are running the default bind9 installation from debian. Domains are each in a separate file in <code>/etc/bind/</code> named after the top-level domain (finkmirrors.net, finkdeveloper.net, etc.) and are editable by anyone in the <code>bind</code> group (or root).<br />
<br />
To add a finkmirrors.net record, do the following:<br />
<br />
# edit /etc/bind/finkmirrors.net<br />
# change the Serial to today's date<br />
# add a distfiles.AIRPORT.STATE.CONTINENT record in the "distfiles (source tarballs) mirrors" section<br />
# add a AIRPORT.STATE.CONTINENT record in the "bindist (.deb package) mirrors" section<br />
# save the file<br />
# restart bind: <code>/etc/init.d/bind9 restart</code><br />
<br />
== Mail ==<br />
<br />
We run a mail server. It really really needs to be documented. (In particular, we are running squirrelmail, websieve, and god knows what else.)<br />
<br />
In particular, the following URL's are useful:<br />
<br />
<https://www.finkdeveloper.net/squirrelmail/src/login.php><br />
<br />
<https://www.finkdeveloper.net/cgi-bin/websieve.pl><br />
<br />
Authorized persons can restart the mail server with <code> sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 restart</code><br />
<br />
== Creating New Users ==<br />
<br />
# add the user to LDAP<br />
#* details go here<br />
# create their SVN experimental directory<br />
#* <code>svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/lib/svn/users/'''username'''</code><br />
#* <code>chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn/users/'''username'''</code><br />
# create their .users.finkproject.org web site<br />
#* add to /etc/bind/finkproject.org<br />
#** <code>2006XXXXXX ; serial</code><br />
#** <code>'''username'''.users IN CNAME finch</code><br />
#** <code>/etc/init.d/bind restart</code><br />
#* add to apache2 config<br />
#** <code>sed -e 's,@USER@,'''username''',g &lt; /etc/apache2/users/user.template &gt; /etc/apache2/users/'''username'''.user</code><br />
#** <code>/etc/init.d/apache2 restart</code><br />
