The password for the root user is whatever password is currently set for the administrator of the server Note that this is the same password as that used by the admin user account Be aware that this ability to switch between the server console and a login prompt is only available when you have physical access to the server If you connect in remotely as the admin user and see the server console you will not be able to switch to a login prompt in that window You can however open up another remote connection to your server and login as the root user Note that remote administrative access is disabled by default and must be specifically enabled through the Remote Access panel of the server manager Note If you are not familiar with working from the Linux prompt you may be interested in trying a file management tool called Midnight Commander It allows you to perform many file operations through a menu driven interface Simply type mc at the command prompt Press the function key F1 for help and FIO to quit 42 Chapter 7 Configuring the Computers on Your Network Table of Contents 7 1 What Order to do Things 7 2 Configuring Your Desktop Operating System 7 2 1 Automatic DHCP Service 7 2 2 Manual entry for computers not using DHCP service 7 2 3 MS Windows workgroup configuration 7 3 IMAP versus POP3 e mail 7 4 Configuring Your E mail Application 7 5 Configuring Your Web Browser 7 6 Configuring Your Company Direct

22. common standards for e mail management IMAP and POP3 Your server supports both protocols You will need to select the protocol that is right for your organization POP3 is the earlier better known e mail protocol POP3 was designed to permit on demand retrieval to a single client machine E mail is stored on the mail server until you retrieve it at which time it is transferred over the network to your desktop machine and stored in your e mail box there Benefits of POP3 Drawbacks of POP3 POP3 was not originally intended to support users accessing and managing their e mail from remote systems Because your e mail is stored on your desktop setting up remote access of your e mail when you are at a different computer can be complex Even when you are not connected to your network you have access to the e mail stored on your desktop IMAP e mail in contrast is designed to permit interactive access to multiple mailboxes from multiple client machines You manage your e mail on the mail server over the network You read your e mail over the network from your desktop but the e mail is not stored on your desktop machine rather it is permanently stored and managed on the server Benefits of IMAP Drawbacks of IMAP You can access all of your new and stored e mail from any machine connected to a network If you are not connected to a network new and stored ag e mail messages are not available to you Because all employee e mail is s
