I have a lot of documentation (HOW-TO's) that I have written up. Well, most of it is actually my notes...but could be converted to HOW-TO's with little effort. Most of it is how to put everything together to work right. This stuff is all geared toward the everyday SYS-ADMIN...not the programmers. If we could put this together on 1 common site, then we could point everyone there. I've talked with several people that TRIED to run FreeBSD and ran into problems when looking for info on HOW-TO do stuff. I will help in anyway possible. What I have now includes: Tunnels/VPN's (with IPSEC) Apache (with Virthosts and SSL) DNS (setup,naming schemes,management,making other apps work right) Firewalling (IPFW,NAT,SRC-ROUTING,DUMMYNET,BRIDGE) NATd (Proxy arp, PUBLIC/PRIVATE aliasing, Making your BSD machine work like a Cisco PIX) Sendmail(Virtuser/aliasing,domain support,cf building with m4,etc) Routing (static & dynamic with gated) Samba/WINS Fun with SSH and Expect. and other generic stuff (automation stuff) Nick Rogness - Drive defensively.
