[BlueOnyx:02705] Kudos, and a couple questions...

[James]

I just joined this mailing list, but I have been using BQ for years and
recently (a few weeks ago) started moving to BlueOnyx on my servers when I
was forced to rebuild one due to hardware failure.  I'm currently working to
standardize on BO, and it looks great so far.  So, thanks for continuing the
development of this platform!

 

A couple things I've thought about in the past, I figured it's about time to
ask here to make sure I haven't missed some obvious way to accomplish my
goals:

 

1. Is there any way to include additional lines for ifcfg-eth0 such that
they can be kept and not wiped out during any potential network reconfig?
For example, I like to include an ETHTOOL_OPTS= line in my ifcfg files to
specifically force speed and duplex settings since autonegotiation with many
switches is not a great way to go.  Whenever I build up a server with BO, I
go into my eth0 config and manually add that line, which of course would get
removed if I went through the interface to change an IP or something.  If
there's NOT currently a good way to do this, is that something that could be
considered for future addition to the package?

 

2. Is there any way to specify the home directory for a user?  In most
cases, I like the way new users are built up underneath the site directory,
but I also generally have a single admin user that I create for each site,
and I would love it if that admin user's home directory could be the same as
the root directory for the domain he administers.

 

Obviously, neither of these requests are huge issues, but they'd definitely
be nice-to-haves for my environment.

 

Oh, one last thing... Am I correct in my understanding from searching the
web today that the best (perhaps only reliable) way to get OpenWebmail into
the BlueOnyx environment is purchase the package from solarspeed.net?  like
some other users, I had been using an old PKG in BQ and wouldn't mind still
having that as a webmail option.

 

 

thanks!

James
