- | The files which are going to be our concern are discussed below. The db.root file is a special case, where the change from the InterNIC TLDs to the OpenNIC TLDS actually happens. For the record, the content of the db.root file, at the time of writing this, is listed [[db_root_file-content|here]]. On OpenNIC Tier-1 servers the file should read something like below: | + | ==== Backup and Archive==== |

- | ==== Backup and Archive==== | + | |
- | The difference between backup and archive is the location where they are stored - one is on-line, but going to be lost when the host is lost. The other is off-line, but remains available. Linode provides a manual snapshot and three automated backups which are rotated - for the entire VPS. Webmin provides manual and scheduled | + | |
- | {{: | + | |
- | DNS is all about redundancy, so configuring email notification about backup - or any other status - is rather pointless. If your instance goes down for any reason it may stay down until you come around to visit and check on it (once a week, maybe). | + | ==== User Management ==== |
+ | User management from the shell is expanded by Webmin several ways. The most advanced is Usermin via LDAP, which is not really necessary on single instances. However, using the Webmin Users and Groups modules is necessary to allow login via Webmin - otherwise the user is limited to ssh login only. Also - on production servers Webmin shall not be installed to reduce the number of software exploits. | ||
