Using iRoot

After you have successfully installed (see Installing iRoot) and have been authenticated by providing the root administrative password (see iRoot Authentication), iRoot will allow you access to the administrative wizards.

The wizards allow you to perform specific administrative tasks on your virtual server via a fill-out form interface. Each task is separate into specific questions or steps. On-line help is provided for each step in the wizard.

When you initiate an iRoot session on your server, you will be presented with the following wizards:

vadduser Wizard: This wizard will allow you to add a POP account to your Virtual Server. An entry will be added to your server's "~/etc/passwd" file which includes the POP username, full name, crypted password, and home directory and disk quota if FTP privileges are allowed.
vpasswd Wizard: This wizard will allow you to change the password for a existing POP account on your Virtual Server.
vrmuser Wizard: This wizard will allow you to remove a POP account from your Virtual Server. The appropriate entry will be removed from your server's "~/etc/passwd" file.
vnewaliases Wizard: This wizard will rebuild your aliases database. It is typically run after an alias has been added, modified, or deleted.
Add Alias Wizard: This wizard will allow you to add an Email alias to your Virtual Server. The alias can be simple alias, access an include list, or access an autoresponder. An entry is added to your server's "~/etc/aliases" file.
Delete Alias Wizard: This wizard will allow you to remove an Email alias from your Virtual Server. An entry is removed from your server's "~/etc/aliases" file.
