Hello all. I'm sorry in advance if this question sound too stupid for some of you. :) I'm a convinced converted FreeBSD user. I have been using it since a year with version 2.5 and now with 3.1. I'm a little ISP and I'm only using my boxes as web servers of our web pages. That's because I have find very hard to understand and manage some things in this environment. As an example of this I haven't give FTP access to other users but me there because I don't know how to restrict space to FTP users and restrict them to their directory only. I know this is something basic but at least to me that came from other OS has been a hard change. I really like the system and in fact my FreeBSD boxes are the only ones that always work and never had a problem with them and that's great but I would like to have more information on how todo do things for ISP daily activities. Another example is that since my email runs on other systems it took me a lo t of time find how to disable SMTP services because my system was used for relay for some spammers. So When I was told about this from an anti spammer organization I spend lot of time finding how to do that. Anyway some basic things are hard to do but when I learn how then it is the best solution (no matter my partener says his NT or MAcintosh servers are better because they are more expensive)..... Do you know of some books or resources on the web (or not) where I can learn how to do things for ISP services specifically. ?. Once, in another list someone pointed me to this book from Cricket Liu, "Managing Internet Information Services" they said that explain all this in Unix environment but unfortunattely the book is out of print and I have been looking it since January in Amazon B&N and a lot others without success. Could you give me your advice on resources to learn this?. Or maybe do you have the book and would you like to sell it to me? ;) Thanks in advance.
