At long last, my FreeBSD book is nearing completion. In the grand tradition of these things, I'd like to place a chapter in the doc repo. The question is, which chapter? I have a couple of ideas, but am interested in ideas from others. Following please find a table of contents, with a few notes on what each chapter contains if necessary. I'd appreciate any comments from others, specifically on which chapter might best serve to patch existing holes in our doc repo. ==ml 1 Introduction 2 Installation -- put the disk in. Hit "yes." 3 Getting More Help -- mailing list, man pages, web sites 4 Backup & Recovery -- rcs, tar, dump 5 Kernel Configuration 6 Networking -- what is tcp/ip? ipfconfig 7 Upgrades -- binary & cvsup 8 System Security -- sockstat, security basics 9 Advanced Security -- ipfilter, jail 10 Too Much Detail about /etc -- various /etc/ files, what they do 11 Ports and Packages 12 Advanced System Management -- startup/shutdown scripts, SMP, misc crud 13 DNS -- named 14 Supporting System Services -- inetd, ssl certs, ssh 15 Mail Services -- configuring postfix & pop3 16 Web Services -- configuring Apache & ftpd 17 Filesystems -- FFS, mount types, mounting/unmounting, etc 18 RAID -- Vinum 19 System Performance -- vmstat, top, etc 20 System Monitoring -- syslogd, monitoring, etc 21 Panics -- serial console, ddb, gdb 22 FreeBSD in the Office -- misc desktop stuff 23 Conclusion -- advocacy & support 24 Appendix -- Common Sysctl MIBs ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons Absolute BSD: http://www.nostarch.com/abs_bsd.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
