Default Home Directory
* Enter the location where you wish for new users' home directories to be created. By default all directories matching the "Home Directory Prefix" are checked for available disk space and the directory with the most free space will be used.

Example: /home

Home Directory Prefix
Additional home directories matching the following value will also be used for new home directory creations. This option only takes one value. A blank value disables this feature.

Examples: home matches /home, /home2, /newhome, /usr/home, /anythingwith/homeinit

Minimum UID
The minimum user ID value used when creating new accounts. Leave blank to use the OS defaults.
Values below 500 may result in a very broken system!

* The IP address that will be used for setting up shared IP virtual hosts. This can only be one address. Do not enter multiple addresses.

Example: 10.11.133.14

Alternate Main Ethernet Device
If you are using a device other than the first ethernet device (eth0) as your public interface, enter it here.

Examples: eth0:3, eth1, eth2 venet0:0 (virtuozzo servers)

Hostname
* The server's current hostname. This value should be a fully qualified domain name and will need to resolve properly. Changine this value does not set the server's current hostname.
To change the server's current hostname, use the Change Hostname function under Server Setup.

* Enter the hostname of the primary nameserver (normally, the name of this server) you wish to use when creating new domains or subdomains.



Examples: ns.myhost.com, ns1.myhost.com, dns1.mydomain.com

(Optional)

Examples: ns.myhost.com, ns1.myhost.com, dns1.mydomain.com

Domain Time To Live
This value defines the caching time for host name lookups for domains hosted on this server. When a caching nameserver queries the authoritative nameserver for a resource record, this value defines the number of seconds before the record will expire. Shorter TTL values can cause heavier loads on the nameserver, but can be useful for zones that contain frequently changing records. The range of values in seconds as defined by RFC 2181 is 0 to 2147483647.

Nameserver Time To Live
This value is similar to the Domain Time To Live setting, but is specifically the value used for newly created zone file's authoritative nameserver entries.

Master Nameserver
This setting is deprecated. Please consider using the Cluster configuration instead.
Enter the IP address of the primary nameserver that will be sent domain and subdomain updates (if this is not the primary nameserver). Setting this value will make this server a slave nameserver. A trust key relationship must be established before entering the hostname.

Examples: trusted.server.com, ns1.myhost.com, ns2.anotherhost.com
