Abstract: A system for automatically configuring server daemons in a client-server network for delivering services to a client is provided. The system comprises an interactive server in communication with a database server. The interactive server runs a server daemon to make a service available to a client. The server daemon is programmed to automatically locate, configure and edit predetermined system configuration files located in the interactive server, relative to account information associated with the client. The database server releasably retains the account information, and has a task program to generate executable and transferable tasks for use in configuring the predetermined system files. A relay server is preferably provided to enable the interactive server and the database to communicate with one another, preferably through a controller. The controller enables the client to selectably add, remove, or modify the services available from the server daemon by manipulating the account information.
