Within ../freeside/docs/legacy.html
It has a html reference to
http://rootwood.sisd.com/freeside/browse/part_svc.cgi
regarding 'services' .. yet this link appears to be broken,
or rather, rootwood.sisd.com doesn't exist..
I have configured/made the relevent ../conf/* files relevent to my
system, so I'm lost at this point..
What am I doing wrong? .. when I run ./svc_acct.import .. the first question
I get is
--
Most accounts probably have entries in passwd and users (with Port-Limit
nonexistant or 1).
Enter part number, or 0 for none:
--
Yet I have no idea what I am supposed to answer there.. ?!?!
I'm beginning to be a real pain aren't I?.. :( ..
