Hi.
Got a few questions for everyone.
1) How do you set up ssl on a raq 4r?
2) Is there any FAQ on securing a raq?
3) How would you do a OS restore on a co-lo raq? possible?
4) Anyway to backup an entire server config and all?
5) To allow telnet or not to allow telnet?

Thank you all, this forum has been great in getting my company off the ground.!

1) How do you set up ssl on a raq 4r?

RTFM

2) Is there any FAQ on securing a raq?

Start here:

3) How would you do a OS restore on a co-lo raq? possible?

You'll have to go to the colo or pay them to do it. No practical way to do a remote OS restore on your own.

4) Anyway to backup an entire server config and all?

You could write your own script to back up all the HD content including the PostgreSQl stuff I guess, or make it easy on yourself and use this:

5) To allow telnet or not to allow telnet?

SSH. Don't even think about it, DO IT.

Good luck! And cruise the cobalt-users archives. Read for at least a MONTH before you even consider posting!
