My main server system hard disk died sunday and I'm still working on making it work correctly. So I won't be really online till all is working again nicely.
And all linux+bind+imap+maildrop+postfix+cvs+svn+webserver+php+mysql+firewall+gateway+openvpn configuration has to work...
Please be patient.

Ouch! I know the feeling, and am able to appreciate the large amount of work required to get everything up and running again.
Godspeed.

*nix/BSD has a wonderful native backup system that can literally get a dead computer up again in minutes (if you have a spare system), or within an hour (if a rebuild is needed).

Ok.
Done now, sorry for delay, that did take insane amount of time...
Hard disk motor just fried...
@OvermindDL1 : I usually backup data (repositories, database, homes and websites) and my /etc but that didn't suffice as I didn't backup system, and it was running for 5 years, upgrading but never reinstalled from scratch... and distribution doesn't handle that well... I discovered.
What "native backup system" is that ? targz, arkeia, rsync ?
And don't hesitate to up topics not solved because I lost a my todo list of the day when the crash did happens.
