But sent mails are stored in a directory under the user by usermin. File based storage or bdb Berkeley DB or something similar is fine. We would like to stick to current set up of one MTA sendmail and one webmail usermin client. If you don't want system users, then I would think you would need to embrace a database of some sort which you also do not want. At some point you have to authorise a user for access. I wrote a tiny C program, which takes a simple text file with the users credentials as input and from this generates a handful of virtual users files for the various sub-systems of my mail setup, i.
With that, the clear text credentials can be piped through by the way of ssh, and ideally never need to hit the target machine. I use this for a dozen of users only, however I don't see any limitation on why this won't work for much more users.
I choose this combo, exactly because I could set up everything easily for virtual users, i. Dovecot IMAP is configured for storing all user's mails in the maildir format.
When used properly, disk shrinking utilities can safely create space for creating a new partition. Since the possibility of selecting the wrong partition exists, always backup any important data and verify the integrity of the backup before modifying disk partitions.
Disk partitions containing different operating systems make it possible to install multiple operating systems on one computer. An alternative is to use virtualization Virtualization which allows multiple operating systems to run at the same time without modifying any disk partitions. Some FreeBSD installation methods require a network connection in order to download the installation files. If the network has a DHCP server, it can be used to provide automatic network configuration.
If DHCP is not available, the following network information for the system must be obtained from the local network administrator or Internet service provider:. On very rare occasions those bugs affect the installation process.
Check the errata before installing to make sure that there are no problems that might affect the installation. The FreeBSD installer is not an application that can be run from within another operating system. FreeBSD installation files are available at www. For example, to install FreeBSD Installation files are available in several formats. The formats vary depending on computer architecture and media type. The names of these files include the string uefi.
A working Internet connection is required during installation as the installer will download the files it needs to complete the FreeBSD installation. This file should be burned to a CD using a CD burning application. It should be burned to a CD using a CD burning application.
It also contains a set of popular binary packages for installing a window manager and some applications so that a complete system can be installed from media without requiring a connection to the Internet. It should be burned to a USB stick using the instructions below. A working internet connection is required during installation.
SHA from the same directory. Calculate a checksum for the image file. FreeBSD provides sha 1 for this, used as sha imagefilename. Other operating systems have similar programs. The checksums must match exactly. If the checksums do not match, the image file is corrupt and must be downloaded again.
It cannot be copied to the target device as a file. This section describes two of these utilities. Before proceeding, back up any important data on the USB stick. This procedure will erase the existing data on the stick. Be very careful that the correct device is used as this command will destroy the existing data on the specified target device.
To burn the image using dd , insert the USB stick and determine its device name. Then, specify the name of the downloaded installation file and the device name for the USB stick.
If this command fails, verify that the USB stick is not mounted and that the device name is for the disk, not a partition. Some operating systems might require this command to be run with sudo 8. To force all writes to complete, use sync 8. Be sure to give the correct drive letter as the existing data on the specified drive will be overwritten and destroyed. Double-click the Win32DiskImager icon to start the program.
Verify that the drive letter shown under Device is the drive with the memory stick. Click the folder icon and select the image to be written to the memory stick. Click Save to accept the image file name. Verify that everything is correct, and that no folders on the memory stick are open in other windows.
When everything is ready, click Write to write the image file to the memory stick. By default, the installation will not make any changes to the disk s before the following message:. The install can be exited at any time prior to this warning. This section describes how to boot the system from the installation media which was prepared using the instructions in Prepare the Installation Media. How to configure the system to boot from the inserted media depends upon the architecture.
These architectures provide a BIOS menu for selecting the boot device. Most systems also provide a key for selecting the boot device during startup without having to enter the BIOS.
Typically, the key is either F10 , F11 , F12 , or Escape. If the computer loads the existing operating system instead of the FreeBSD installer, then either:. The installation media was not inserted early enough in the boot process.
Leave the media inserted and try restarting the computer. The BIOS changes were incorrect or not saved. Double-check that the right boot device is selected as the first boot device. This system is too old to support booting from the chosen media. On most machines, holding C on the keyboard during boot will boot from the CD. Once the system boots from the installation media, a menu similar to the following will be displayed:.
To pause the boot timer in order to review the selections, press Space. To select an option, press its highlighted number, character, or key. The following options are available. If the boot timer has been paused, press 1 , upper- or lower-case B , or Enter. Press 2 or the upper- or lower-case S to enter this mode. Escape to loader prompt : This will boot the system into a repair prompt that contains a limited number of low-level commands.
Press 3 or Esc to boot into this prompt. The boot options menu is divided into two sections. The first section can be used to either return to the main boot menu or to reset any toggled options back to their defaults. The system will always boot using the settings for these options until they are modified. Several options can be toggled using this menu:. Once the problem is fixed, set it back to Off. Verbose : Toggle this option to On to see more detailed messages during the boot process.
This can be useful when troubleshooting a piece of hardware. After making the needed selections, press 1 or Backspace to return to the main boot menu, then press Enter to continue booting into FreeBSD. A series of boot messages will appear as FreeBSD carries out its hardware device probes and loads the installation program. Once the boot is complete, the welcome menu shown in Welcome Menu will be displayed.
Press Enter to select the default of Install to enter the installer. The rest of this chapter describes how to use this installer. Otherwise, use the right or left arrows or the colorized letter to select the desired menu item. The Shell can be used to access a FreeBSD shell in order to use command line utilities to prepare the disks before installation.
The live version is described in Using the Live CD. To review the boot messages, including the hardware device probe, press the upper- or lower-case S and then Enter to access a shell. When finished, type exit to return to the welcome menu. This section shows the order of the bsdinstall menus and the type of information that will be asked before the system is installed. Use the arrow keys to highlight a menu option, then Space to select or deselect that menu item. When finished, press Enter to save the selection and move onto the next screen.
Before starting the process, bsdinstall will load the keymap files as show in Keymap Loading. After the keymaps have been loaded bsdinstall displays the menu shown in Keymap Selection Menu.
Use the up and down arrows to select the keymap that most closely represents the mapping of the keyboard attached to the system. Press Enter to save the selection. Pressing Esc will exit this menu and use the default keymap. In addition, when selecting a different keymap, the user can try the keymap and ensure it is correct before proceeding as shown in Keymap Testing Menu.
Type in a hostname that is unique for the network. It should be a fully-qualified hostname, such as machine3. Deciding which components to install will depend largely on the intended use of the system and the amount of disk space available. The FreeBSD kernel and userland, collectively known as the base system , are always installed. Depending on the architecture, some of these components may not appear:.
The installation program does not check for adequate disk space. Select this option only if sufficient hard disk space is available. Although not required for the majority of applications, it may be required to build device drivers, kernel modules, or some applications from the Ports Collection. It is also used for developing FreeBSD itself. The menu shown in Installing from the Network only appears when installing from a -bootonly.
Since the installation files must be retrieved over a network connection, this menu indicates that the network interface must be configured first. If this menu is shown in any step of the process remember to follow the instructions in Configuring Network Interfaces.
Manual partitioning allows advanced users to create customized partitions from menu options. Shell opens a shell prompt where advanced users can create customized partitions using command-line utilities like gpart 8 , fdisk 8 , and bsdlabel 8. This section describes what to consider when laying out the disk partitions. It then demonstrates how to use the different partitioning methods. When laying out file systems, remember that hard drives transfer data faster from the outer tracks to the inner.
Specify port If the Webmin server doesn't respond, you might need to adjust firewall settings to allow port Make sure the Linux Firewall allows port Jump to: navigation , search. Category : Installation. But only there, nowhere else. I dont get it. Did anybody ever get virtualmin working on freebsd?
I'm stuck with it No idea where to go from here. Either should be capable of working, but the install script supports FreeBSD, and would make installation much simpler. I'm using the GPL version because we need to test it very hard before use it in the production environment we're using plesk now.
If not -- what are the names and versions of Webmin, Virtualmin, and the theme packages do you have installed? It quit when the script tried to download the webmin package, for which credentials are needed to download because its the PRO version. Ok, it didnt help me because i wanted it GPL. I dont know what packages have to be installed, because there are so many little apps to add like logrotate, cyrus-imapd and so on.
But thats still my problem yet.
