Re: [cobalt-users] / is getting full

["Rishi Gangoly" <usergroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike will try this out right away to buy me some time.

I guess for now this shoud do.

But the what I really need to do is get UN-HACKED.

I have around 50 virtual sites configured on it using a mix of mail, ftp and
web services.

Can you tell me what configuration files are needed to be backed up so
that I can format, re-install and restore the data to system so that I have
the least amount of downtime?

Here is what I thought is needed

/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/shadow
/etc/named.conf
/etc/named
/etc/mail
/etc/httpd
/home
/var
/usr/local/majordomo


Regards

Rishi
