FreeBSD on Flashdrives PDF Print E-mail

  • Mount that ISO on /dist:
     # mkdir -p /dist 
# mdconfig -a -f /a/FreeBSD/6.1-RC1-i386-disc1.iso
md1
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /dist
  • Insert the stick. They come preformatted with a FAT32 partition on, so we'll need to throw a BSD slice label on there — this command will destroy all existing slices. If you get a warning regarding "Geom not found", don't worry.:

    # fdisk -BI /dev/da0
  • We need a disk label:

    # bsdlabel -B -w da0s1

Postfix Cyrus Sasl FreeBSD Howto PDF Print E-mail

Installation of Postfix and cyrus-imapd, on FreeBSD 6 using cyrus sasl authentication, SSL/TLS security, and implementing Postfix virtual mailbox aliases.

By Martin: martin -at- writingsonthewall.net. This howto lives at Hott.net, although my main site is at Writings On The Wall

This is a description of one way to install Postfix2.3, Cyrus2.3, and Sasl2.1 on FreeBSD6.0-RELEASE. I think the only other package involved is BDB4.3. I wanted to do at least TLS secure connections so that I could collect and send mail from outside my firewall, and I wanted Postfix's "virtual mailbox domains". There are a lot of good howtos out there about this topic, and I particularly made use of Tim Yocum's http://yocum.org/faqs/postfix-tls-sasl.html, Patrick Koetter's http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/index.html, and most of all cdr's http://www.kaplowitz.net/cdr_postfix_howto.html.

Setting SAMBA3 fo DC PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator

Setting up SAMBA 3 for a Domain Controller is a bit more difficult than setting up DHCP or DNS, or CUPS (for printing). But in order to get it 'up and running' as quickly as possible, you can follow the general instructions on this web page, which are intended as a quick 'how to' guide for Samba 3 as a Domain Controller. All of the necessary files for setting up a Samba-based domain controller for FreeBSD are included 'in line' and may be 'clipped out' and used as you see fit. For other operating systems, such as Linux, you may need to edit them slightly to get them to work. In particular, the shell scripts make use of the 'pw' application to add and modify users and groups, which is specific to FreeBSD.
Additional information can be found in the Samba documentation, which is installed in the local documentation tree on your computer, specifically the file 'samba/howto/FastStart.html' under the heading of 'Domain Controller'.
