I am curious as to which of the standard directories that software outside
my control uses. For instance, logs is used by the web server. I am
interested in cleaning up the directory structure a little for the novice
UNIX user. Plus, I would like to know in case the experienced UNIX user
asks.
Below is a list of the start files to make your reply easier. I know you
are busy so I don't mind really short answers. Mostly I need to know if the
directory is expected to exist and by what. If you have this documented
already, point the way.
.domains = e-mail
This is for mail delivery. If deleted, no mail will be delivered. Do
not delete.
.mreply.rc = e-mail
This is for autoresponders, maillists, listservers, and packet
(e-mail-ftp) MREPLY stuff. If not needed, feel free to delete.
archive/ = ???
Used with MREPLY. Delete if not needed.
cgibin/ = ???
Can be used for cgi programs but doesen't have to be. Delete at will.
configuration/ = ???
Delete if not needed.
docs/ = harmless
Delete if not needed.
index.htm = starting web page
Replace with your own.
link/ = harmless
Not sure. Delete at will.
lists/ = ???
Used with MREPLY. Delete if not needed.
logs/ = web server
Web server logging. Do not delete
majordomo.cf = majordomo
Outdated. Delete.
random/ = looks harmless
Not sure. Delete at will.
readme.mreply = mreply (harmless)
Self explanatory.
sample2.mreply.rc = mreply (harmless)
If you are going to use MREPLY, use this instead of the .mreply.rc that
we give you. This one works better. Delete if not using MREPLY.
setup = harmless
Limited info regarding the setup of the account. Delete if desired.
