Note that I answered your questions by telling you where to look in the documentation, instead of giving you specific technical answers. If you want specific technical answers, ask at freebsd-questions. But try to do some research on your own first, like reading the docs, googling, etc. The people on -questions can spot those who haven't bothered to read the handbook a mile away... The reason why this list isn't for technical questions, is because this list is populated by newbies. Do you really want your technical question answered by someone who doesn't know any more about it than you? Of course not! So ask your technical questions in the group where all the experts hang out.
