I'm trying to assess which is the best choice to offer both security and performance under FreeBSD 4.2. Apache seems like a pretty defacto choice for HTTP which I'm very happy with but I'm a little less sure what choose on others, in particular for ftp and mail servers. FTP Options: 1. proFTPd - Seems secure and has "enterprise" features 2. wu-Ftpd - Good security (bad History) excellent performance 3. ftpd - Dodgy security? Doesn't seem to be used very much Mail Options: 1. Qmail - Secure, written for FreeBSD (Qwest?), Fast, Configurable 2. Sendmail - Industry standard, works fine, big user base 3. Postfix - Secure, quite light on system resources, growing support I'd appreciate some feedback on any of these, any comments you might have would be very helpful, or perhaps links to articles on this subject. Many thanks Dominic Marks _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
