There are some very good how-to documents around and some are specifically for FreeBSD, but I don't think many include the rcng info that would give you the rc.conf entries. The move to rcng is fairly recent, which is why I suggested that reading the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh scripts is a good idea at the moment. I hate to say this, but google is worth a try. Try using *FreeBSD mail toaster* as the search terms - assuming you're interested in virtual hosting of mail domains. I hesitate to recommend any particular one, because it's largely a matter of taste. The Matt Simerson mail toaster thingie is highly regarded by a lot of people, but I don't get on with it because it's a bit of a black box unless you research it extensively, and because I take a slightly different approach to running qmail. However, the documentation contains some really useful stuff. >=20 > X---------------- > Robert Kim, > Wireless Internet Wifi Hotspot Advisor > http://wireless-internet-broadband-service.com > https://evdo.sslpowered.com/wifi-hotspot-router.htm > 2611 S Pacific Coast Highway 101 > Cardiff by the Sea CA 92007 : 206 984 0880 >=20 > >>> "Wireless Internet Service Is ONLY Broadband with Broadband=20 > >>> Customer > Service"(tm) > >>> OUR QUEST: To Kill the Cubicle!
