[WBEL-devel] easy soho server-configuration

[Rainer Hamann]

I've developed an application for an easy server configuration for RedHat 8.2.
The application copies preconfigured configuration files to the server and
replaces values like $HOSTNAME$, $IP$ and so on by the actual values of the
server. Configured services are dhcp, nis, bind, nfs, samba and kickstart
files.

The program is written in lazarus/free pascal.

I've just found Whitebox linux on distrowatch.com and downloaded, installed it
and decided to use it for our networks in my school. We have about 80
workstations and 2 servers and have to make a new installation, because the
harddisk of our main server has become to small.

I'll test the next days, if my tool is running on Whitebox linux, and I would
like to make it part of Whitebox linux, if you are interested in it.

Is Lazarus still going? I remember it got off to a stumbling beginning,
and never went anywhere for months before I gave up on it. This was
years ago. (I've done TP/Delphi/Kylix programming since the mid-80's.)

WBEL is essentially a repackaging of RedHat Enterprise Linux, so I don't
know that it'd be an official part -- this is just me talking.

I'd certainly be interested in looking at this, though. This is the
something that I've only put a little effort into in the past. I'm also
an unabashed FP/TP/Delphi junkie. :-)

Never mind. I found it. Yes, it's nice to see that they resurrected
Megido. I'll DL it and compare it to my Kylix.

Suggest you see if Wag Wieers (***@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/)
is interested in adding it to his yum/apt repository of (WBEL-
compatible) RHEL packages. Could also offer it on the FreshRPMS list
(freshrpms-***@freshrpms.net). That would hit Dag plus several other
packagers, as well as a host of potentially interested users.

As soon as I have tested the application I will post a download address.
