And what I do: well the value of obscuring your OS type is debatable, but the way to do this is with the right firewall ruleset. This is debated over and over on the misc@openbsd mailing lists. Search their archive for more information on how to do it. > And another question: SOP in this list is to put questions on different topics in separate emails. puttng proper subjects for each question helps the archives be more useful. > I wanna take participating in FreeBSD project. May be there are some sites > or links, where this question is described, but I wanna ask you directly: I if you want to contribute other than translation, the besst way to fnd something you can contribute to is to spend some time on questions, and a few of the other mailing lists, until something comes up that you would like to do. Of course read the handbook and spend some time looking through the website. If you do you'll find the projects webpage that probably has something you can contribute too. > want to translate documentation from English into Russian. Please, tell me, > which topics aren't occupied yet by other interpriters - and I 'll do all > possible to translate them!... Thank you very much. Send an email offering help at doc@freebsd.org and read the documentation project pages. They are accessible off the FreeBSD.org main webpage. They would love to have your help, and can direct you to where translation help is needed most. Actually if you just read enough of the handbook and the Russian version, you would see many things that haven't been translated yet. We'd all be glad to have your help actually, so have fun.
