Brian,
Does this allow the siteadmin to edit all the aliased domains?
This is a wonderful idea!!

To all.
DO NOT RUN THIS ON A PRODUCTIO BOX. If you do, and it breaks anything, do
not cry to me!!! You have been warned!!!
This is as I like to say, a bit experimental. I have worked on it for the
last couple of days and I feel it worthy of atleast beta testing.
Feature:
DNS Admin via the Siteadmin level.
Allow the site admins to control their own DNS. I feel this is great
feature, but I am not a hosting provider, so I do not know what people
look for.
The only bad downside I see is that they essentially can restart the DNS
server whenever they want. This behavior can probably be changed rather
easy.
It does offer some security. I.E. hopefully they should not be able to
jump domains. I.E. be in "abc.com" and modify "xyz.net". It pulls the
domain from the site admin who is logged in. So, in theory, they should
not be able to mess with other people's domains.
Outside of that, if you are interested in trying this on a NON PRODUCTION
machine the directions are down below. I say NON PRODUCTION because I do
not want to read this in my inbox.
I installed this, my server is down, I am loosing money because of you.
I have a filter that will /dev/null that e-mail :) and I will never know
about it (kidding).
#1 - Backup your files! The following files are over written:
tar cfvpz /my-backup.tgz \
/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/dns/validate_dnsrecords.pl \
/usr/sausalito/ui/web/base/user/userMod.php \
/usr/sausalito/ui/web/base/user/userModHandler.php \
/usr/sausalito/ui/menu/base/dns/base-dns-vsite.xml \
/usr/sausalito/schemas/base/dns/dns.schema \
/usr/sausalito/constructor/base/alpine/setup_capabilities.pl \
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/base-user.mo
#2 - Download the new files and extract them.
cd /
wget http://www.nuonce.net/bq-vsite-dns-addon.tgz
tar xfvpz bq-vsite-dns-addon.tgz
#3 - Restart Sausalito & Admserv
service cced.init restart
service admserv restart
#4 - Log in as Admin, change someone to dnsAdmin. Then log in as that
user and play around.
#5 - If you find a bug. Try to document the steps you did to make it
happen. I would appreciate that more then, "It doesn't work". I will
ignore those too.
Now, if it does break, or you do not want it
cd /
tar xfvpz my-backup.tgz
service cced.init restart
service admserv restart
Then it is GONE. If all goes well with this Beta trial, and if anyone has
any enhancement ideas, let me know. I will ask the big man if I can
commit it to CVS.
