what's the message you get?

[ bad cabling shouldn't crash drives unless it's on the power supply or grounding] Actually it is rare, but I have seen a few bad IDE cables cause their share of problems. It usually causes an intermittent drive issue at first (random seek errors/crahses etc) Without knowing more about the...

Sendmail's SMTP_AUTH is what you're looking for http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html Once it's setup scroll down to: Using sendmail as a client with AUTH

another alternative to virtualmin under webmin is Virtualmail, which appends a unique group id to the desired username creating the desired uniqueness

buy a couple of patch cables (spend the darn 2.00) and see if it clears the problem up. If it does shop around for a decient price (i'm sure the contractors price isn't as cheap as I could get 300pc for lol) Until you test it, you won't know for sure

It sounds like the contractor may have a valid point. No, it's not likely that the patch panel(s) require a specific patch cable. My suggestion is to purchase a couple of over the counter patch cables and see if they solve the problem. "IF they do" then it's definatly your cables. "if they...

[what can I do to prevent one customer from seeing unprotected shares on another clients laptop ?] You'll be allocating IP's via DHCP (unless you have an undefined reason to provide static IP's) Simply block the associated ports via your firewall to all IP's you're providing

If log files are not being generated, then that would indicate that logging has been either disabled, or the logs for the domain in question are being stored in another directory. The only way to verify this is to review the httpd.conf file

Virtualmail [webmin module mentioned earlier] requires that each domain belongs to a unique group. [ex- abc.com belongs to grp: def, xyz.net belongs to grp: qrs] If "joe" already exists, and abc.com proceeds to create an account by that name. The resulting account will be "joe.abc" a forward...

[joe@domain1.com joe@domain1.com] did you mean joe1@domain1.com joe@domain1.com ? indicating a forward for joe1 to joe? The reason I ask is as far a user accounts are concerned '@' is an invalid (illegal) character Use of which would result in a email address such as...

[the only thing stopping MS would be that it's against business ethics and morals] You're joking right? The only thing that may be stopping M$ from doing so, is that it wouldn't take much to identify the problem for what it was "intentional sabotage" which would cause them to settle out of...

as long as you didn't use a really bad password for the admin password yes

[Can't believe they did that to you and left you hanging] I can, their scipt ran out and they were at a loss from there on. If a service provider suggests deleting DLL's or disabling security to use their service (like firewalls) I strongly suggest you think about replacing them.

I'd also disable any firwalls you may have running.. (actually I'd try that first, that could be your problem)
