WareLogging

<Brennen> A while ago I had a part-time job as a sysadmin, and needed to learn FreeBSD. Started with The FreeBSD Handbook. Also useful are the FreeBSD Man Pages.

• The FreeBSD filesystem hierarchy
• Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel - The configuration file
• freebsd-hardware (archives)
• User Management
• pw(8)

Mail:

• Setting up IMAP in FreeBSD
• FreeBSD as a secure mail server using sendmail and imap-uw
• Squirrelmail wiki: UWLoginDisabled - try using port 993 before you go to greater efforts.
• Using maildir format
• maildir(5)

Security:

• FreeBSD Security HOWTO
• A simple firewall howto
• ''Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition'', Brent Chapman and Elizabeth Zwicky, ISBN 1-56592-871-7.

Archiving and backups:

• Backing up with dump and restore on Linux mini-HOWTO (good, but 4 years old)
• ONLamp.com: Backing up files with Tar
• RAID

• Backing up a Windows machine from FreeBSD.

• Pictures of SCSI Connectors
