hello,

I would like to use dns only control to my customers, so we can just sell domains at sharp prices.

I d like to give them control to the MX, the hosts and that's all.

I was wondering if I could set bandwith and webspace to zero
also there is alwas an ftp and mail account created, I d like to have none of them.

Is this possible ?

Any DNS only skin aldready seen somewhere ?

Hello,

I havn't seen any dns only skins..

You should be able to set bandwidth and disk space to a very low value, but it'd avoid using 0 as the account might get suspended too easily.

You should be able to set ftp to zero to avoid having the ftp account from being created (I'd need to double check that), but the email account can't be removed because any unix account that exists gets one regardless of DA.

What you could do is manually go around destroying domain data after the domain is created so that nothing would work regardless of the package. See

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/README .. and just check the syntax for domain_create_post.sh. You could do things like remove the domain from the /etc/virtual/domains and domainsowners file.. and remove the /home/username/domains directory.
