mod_roaming questions



Hello,

I'm relatively new to apache, but I'm trying to setup a roaming access
server with Potato.  I thought I had set it up correctly but it doesn't
seem to be working.  Maybe one of you apache studs can help out.  Here's
the story:

I setup a machine with potato.  Then I installed the apache package(s)
that come with the [unstable] distribution (I think its apache
1.3.6???).  Then I tried installing the "libapache-mod-roaming" package
(the roaming access package).  But dselect says that the "apache-common"
package already provides "libapache-mod-roaming."

So I think, great, its already installed, less work for me.  And sure
enough when I checked, in my /usr/lib/apache/1.3 directory (with all the
other modules) there is a file called "mod_roaming.so."  And in my
"httpd.conf" file, there was a line (commented out by default)
"LoadModule roaming_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_roaming.so."   So
naturally I uncommented that line and restarted the server.

Now in theory this should be working right?  Netscape Communicator
(4.51) gives an "unexplained network error" when it looks for the
roaming access server.

So I guess my questions are these:

1.  did I do everything necessary?  are there things I still need to
compile, and if so, what?
2.  Is there a place (a config file or something) where I can configure
the settings for the roaming profiles, like which directories I want to
use for user space, etc... ?
3.  Is there and good documentation out there for mod_roaming?

Thanks for reading through this long email, any and all help is
appreciated!!!
