[Sheflug] Dedicated Server Setup

["Steve Vernon" <steve.vernon [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We have a Linux dedicated server hosted by a company and we basically need
to set it up.

I have a couple of books on the subject but they don't seem to help much. My
experience of Linux/Unix is using it graphically, never much on the command
line or settings etc.

I suppose I could put a problem to the list etc, but could take some time to
fully setup the server and there could be something I have forgotten. It
seems the company have just installed a basic redhat, but not configured
anything.

Basically my company needs someone who knows all about:

    Linux
    Bind/DNS (and MX thingy's)
    Sendmail
    FTP
    Logs
    Best way to administer the server from Windows at the moment (optional,
I will be using Linux ASAP)
    etc

That can be paid to either come to us (Buxton, Derbyshire- you seem to be
the nearest list), or I can come to them. We could spent a day or so
together working on the problem. I am in the process of learning Linux, so
it would be helpful to do this face to face so I can understand the
configuration choices etc.

This is for a production server that hopefully a lot of people will use, so
the person needs to know Linux and ideally have setup a similar server.

Thanks,

Steve
