Hi all,

How can I verify the following service configuration files/setup are ok with?(in RedHat)
httpd
sendmail
ldap
DHCP
DNS
SQUID

For example, I can use "testparm" to verify the my samba configuration . I want a similar kind of testing option for the above mentioned options.

httpd -t is for apache (httpd).

DNS/bind

service named configtest

Testing SQUID configuration is done with the 'client' that installs with SQUID installation. If you have Squid configured to listen on the standard port then you can just run:

Code:

client http://somesite.com

For more information on how to use the Squid client check out this page Testing Squid or run

Code:

client -h

Kind regards,

Eric
