Hi all,

This is a question to just enhance knowledge on Linux server administration.In dns we have some error checking commands like
named-checkzone and named-checkconf to check any syntax errors in server
like wise we have following command for different servers

vsftpd check for syntax error
BIND DNS Server check for syntax and zone errors:
SAMBA check config errors
APACHE check for syntax error:
so my query is.. there will be some commands for the following servers too squid,sendmail,postfix,dovcot etc
please post if you know other commands which will be used for error checking of server config files.

Thanks,
Surendra.

Postfix - Warn about bad directory/file ownership or permissions, and create missing directories
Postfix - Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes
OpenSSH SSHD server check for syntax error:
Lighttpd web server - check for syntax errors:
nginx web server - check for syntax errors:
Apache show parsed settings for vhosts
FreeBSD / OpenBSD pf firewall syntax checking:
Check syntax error for TCPD (tcp wrapper config file)

it helps me to troubleshoot more on servers

It is really sad that iptables lacks syntax checking option, nice list though...
