FAQ
- My account expires on ..., why?
This is for blocking unused accounts. At end of every month
cron job locks accounts without login during last month. So,
if you have logged at least once in a month, your account will
not be locked up.
- I'd like to have a web page, where should my files go?
Create public_html directory. This directory would be
visible with http://bsd.miki.eu.org/~your_login_name
URL.
- I'd like to run eggdrop, psybnc, other IRC shit
Well, sure you can. But after you'll logout any IRC client
will be killed. So there's no point running eggdrop, psybnc, etc.
- I don't know how to connect to PostgreSQL / MySQL database here
You don't know and you will never know. We do not offer
database hosting here. PostgreSQL client is installed, but that doesn't
mean that databases are availalble here. You can connect to
external databases.
You can use SQLite database, which is installed here. That's very
simple database with SQL support, PHP bindings, etc. Give it
a try.
- How can I change my name displayed by the
finger command?
$ man chsh
- How much disk space can I use?
$ man quota
- Can I run a game server?
Sure, you can. But since incoming connections are allowed
for specific ports only, no one will be able to connect to it.
Unless from localhost.
- How can I upload files to my shell account?
There's no ftp here. Period. If you have your files on some other server, you
can download them using wget, scp, ftp. If you want to upload files from your
local computer you can use scp or simply send them by email.
- Can I host my domain here?
No.
