Hello!!! We are a local provider and we have run into some troubles (not the first time) with FreeBSD, which we could not resolve ourselves. We hope that someone will help us. 1) How can one connect FreeBSD system with Win95 system via Ethernet. The connection must allow Win95 user to do telnet, ftp, http and all other things to the FreeBSD machine. Of course, it would be nice to have some file shares on the FreeBSD machine which could be accessed from Win95 machine. But it is more of a NFS question. 2) How can we split trafic and send different portions of it into different interfaces? I will explain now. For example, we have a DIal-up machine. The users on that machine can work on line with the whole internet and also send e-mail. And we have to physical communication channel connected to the machine: 1) one 28800 2) and one 9600 We want all on-line/other work go through the 28800 channel and all smtp mail go through 9600 interface. At the moment we have no idea how to do it. Of course, there is a way with tweeking MX records, which will reqire installing one more machine. But that is not what we REALLY want. We want something more flexible) 3) This is one could seem a bit weird. In /var/log there is a file "mailstat" It has write permission set for the whole world. The same story with files in archived mailstat dir. We base out mail accounting system on those files and we do not want other people to change them. We need to know for sure that if we clear write permission for the whole world for those file nothing bad will happen. What daemon writes to those files ? And if it is impossible to change the attribute without something bad happen, what can we do to account for mail safely and reliably ? Thank you. Any comments would be appriciated. Artem Koutchine
