Hi. I am doing an assignment for uni and i need to install services on my ubuntu box. So far i have DHCP, DNS, HTTP, SSH, TELNET, FTP.

Can anybody recommend some basic ones that i can install, or not necessarily basic, but easy to install? Ive tryed LDAP but had no luck.

Many thanks
 
subversion <--fairly easy
exim
samba
nfs <--- really easy

perhaps configure your DHCP with a tftp server and host network boot images via PXE
 
not so much a service, but VMWare server? its free after all, so no issue there. or NTP, thats not too hard from memory, but I haven't looked at that in a good while. for a bit more of a challenge, IP masquerading and iptables firewall, though there are some great tutorials out there these days..

also, if you want to show concern for security, you could suggest that even if you install telnet and ftp, that you don't necessarily recommend them? We try and keep those 2 off our network as much as possible, even though there isn't any real risk of someone getting in and packet sniffing.
