CSuite configuration report.  

1. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/vars - looks OK
2. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/address - looks OK
3. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/canon-url.sed - edit
4. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/currencies - looks OK
5. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/member-fees - edit
6. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/modem-count - edit
7. Check CS_ROOT/etc/conf/neighbours - edit
8. Check CS_ROOT/tq/* - looks OK
9. Check CS_ROOT/info/Home.tmpl - edit
10. Set 'csuite' password - appears to work
11. PROBLEM: do not use link to check /etc/passwd
	- link specification is
		 lynxprog:/var/csuite/lynxexec/editor /etc/passwd
	- using pico/update on /etc/passwd is a bad idea
    +SOLUTION: use CS_ROOT/lib/cs-shlib (shcat) instead
12. Did not set 'guest' password - WWHCN does not want it
13. Start httpd - looks OK
14. Did not start the zmailer - it did not build
15. Enabled FTP connections - looks OK
16. Enabled pidentd - looks OK
17. PROBLEM: requred to edit the same file twice
    + SOLUTION: either -
	- combine FTP/pidentd advice
		or
	- check /etc/inetd.conf to see if they are enabled
	-- if yes, ask if they should be updated to CSuite versions
	-- if no, ask if they should be enabled
	-- provide a link as confirmation, follow it and enable services
18. PROBLEM: Configuration does does not tell you to run
		kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
             to actually enable the services
    SOLUTION: run it if confirm on "enable services now"
19. Enabled lynx logging
20. Enabled logger logging
21. PROBLEM: requred to edit the same file twice
    + SOLUTION: either -
        - combine lynx/logger advicce
                or
        - check /etc/syslog.conf to see if they are enabled
        -- if yes, ask if they should be updated to CSuite versions
        -- if no, ask if they should be enabled
        -- provide a link as confirmation, follow it and enable logging
22. PROBLEM: Configuration does does not tell you to run
		kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
             to actually enable the services
    SOLUTION: run it if confirm on "enable services now"
23. Updated crontab - looks OK
24. Started 'tq' - looks OK
25. Did not edit htgroup
26. PROBLEM: editing htgroup at this time is bad advise
	- there are no CSuite users yet (only 'csuite' and 'guest')
	  so there are no users who could be added
    + SOLUTION: remove reference in config
27. Set csuite htpasswd - looks OK
28. Check link to Documentation - I think I'll read it later ;-)
