Abstract

A multiserver for providing file sharing service, print services, fax services and internet hosting services is disclosed. The various services are implemented using publicly available software packages, the configuration of which has been integrated by means of a unified configuration management interface. The configuration management interface automatically configures the underlying packages in response to information entered by an administrator. The underlying software packages may be changed without changing the appearance of the configuration management interface, allowing the system to be upgraded without requiring the administrator to learn how to configure the new packages.
