WINNT-INET - Windows NT on the Internet Mailing List
Contents
Overview
One of the problems of internet presence for any site was the complexity of
various Services administration. For this Windows NT has unsuspected
advantage over UNIX that only very few processionals know to take the full
advantage of it.
What is needed to normal Internet site operation?
The list of the services that are required or recommended for normal
site functioning is not to short, this is partial list of the services needed:
- Name Server - DNS (bind on UNIX)
- SMTP Smart Relay - (Sendmail on UNIX)
- Dialing/Routing software/hardware
- Finger/WHOIS/Telnet/HTTPd/NNTP/ListServer/TALKd - is not the full list of not
required but highly recommended software
All of this required UNIX in old time but today almost everything exist also
on NT that in my opinion (and I believe on yours) is much more convenient
to manage.
I've established this mailing list in order to discuss administration problems
for Windows NT in Internet environment and I hope this will help us to make
it easy and large the number of NT sites on Internet.

Christopher Thomas <ctopher@interaccess.com>, we thank him for this!
Standard mailing lists net-etiquette rules MUST be followed
on this list. The accent is put on the following points:
- All administrative messages (subscription, unsubscription, asking
or help or information, complaints about persons not following
the courtesy rules....) are not to be send to list, but only to
the list administrator (john@neystadt.org).
- Off topic mailings or discussions are strictly prohibited. Such should
held privately between subscribers. Inquire ListOwner, to obtain
permission for posting announces or any messages, which may be off-topic.
- Any Messages which do not represent public interest must be mailed privately
between list subscribers. Most common example of such is a courtesy to
replying persons, a "Thanks" message.
- If you can, a day or two after posting your question, please SUMMARIZE your
question with results and people that contributed. This will make
things easier for people to understand and easier to save messages.
- MINIMIZE QUOTING. When replying or forwarding messages to the list, take
few seconds to delete forwarded headers, signatures, banners. Delete
unrelevant text and replace it with "...".
- All mails are to be stated in English.
- This list is monitored by volunteers, who ensure the traffic is concise and
relevant. The offenders will be privately warned, and could be denied
access to the list after few warnings. Please be tolerant to people
who spend their private time to make our list better.
