In-Reply-To: <199506211338.JAA07697@grendel.csc.smith.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: doc-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I'd gladly work on a WWW site config page, and a non-ipfw networking config page. I run a mixed TCP/IP -- IPX network on a combination of 10baseT and coax, with a FreeBSD system routing TCP/IP for several segments. Writing up a brief document on routing would be fine by me -- I'd like to include ipfw, unfortunately due to a lack of documentation, I don't understand how to use it yet ;). I'll be playing with it next week sometime and onceI have a grip on it would gladly work on it. In the mean time I could work on WWW server config stuff -- I have experience with CERN and NCSA httpd under FreeBSD and BSDI; I haven't used Netscape's netsite. For that matter, I don't even know if netsite will run under FreeBSD ;). Robert Watson rwatson@sidwell.edu http://www.sidwell.edu/~rwatson/ The goal of science is to build better mousetraps. The goal of nature is to build better mice.
