Next time this happens, it would be satisfying to present the police with pictures of the villains in the act of carting off our TV in our wheelbarrow, or ransacking our CD collection. I'm thinking a few cheapo cameras, inside and out, hooked up to a server in an inaccessible spot (e.g. the attic) or off-site, after I get a cable modem. I would prefer FreeBSD on the server. What's the economic way of building a system like this? Nick Barnes To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
