Hi this is my first post here...

I just got my first dedicated Red Hat Linux server from Rackspace using webmin.

I was wondering if there's any good resources on the net which are specific for using webmin, apart from the webmin site ?

Also how does one find out the server's load averages as i saw an earlier post here about them ?

Also i have this problem..

I setup a new virtual site on an IP address using webmin and set the home directory as

/home/user1/mydomain.com/htdocs

when i ftp to the IP address as the server and use 'user1' and the 'password1' i can upload and delete and do all the normal stuff in ftp.

Then i created 'user2' and set the home directory in webmin to
/home/user1/mydomain.com/htdocs

same as above - i want user2 to be able to only access the directory

/home/user1/mydomain.com/ and no further...

my problem is 'user2' can not seem to upload or download or do anything with 550/553 permission denied errors ?

Does anyone have any solution or know of good resources for using webmin ? It's Webmin version 0.78

thanks

Glad to hear you didn't go with NT. Your server will thank you.

Go to www.planetlinux.com they have some pretty good articles on basics or advanced server administration.
