# Setting up the tilde.club shell server
|
||||
|
||||
We want to document the ins and outs of setting up the server, so that others who're interested can learn (and help!).
|
||||
|
||||
## System setup
|
||||
|
||||
This part is for @ftrain.
|
||||
|
||||
## Email
|
||||
|
||||
The default MTA on CentOS is `postfix`. Our goal was to have a localhost-only mail service, which required that we configure postfix to listen only to localhost, and to bounce any emails which local users try to send off-server. Both configuration changes are handled in `/etc/postfix/main.cf`.
|
||||
|
||||
* the `inet_interfaces` parameter should just be localhost (`inet_interfaces = localhost`)
|
||||
* the `default_transport` parameter should be the bounce message we want (so add `default_transport = error: outside mail is not deliverable` to the bottom of the file)
|
||||
|
||||
## Identd
|
||||
|
||||
If users are going to connect from their shell account to an IRC server, then it's *very* handy to have an identd server running. For us, that just meant installing the standard CentOS identd server, and then configuring it to startup automatically:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install identd
|
||||
sudo /etc/init.d/oidentd start
|
||||
sudo chkconfig oidentd on
|
||||
```
