 Hi, re:

 > Building an authentication server with PicoBSD

 on an old floppy-based machine... "man picobsd"
on freebsd is the best doc (available also at
the freebsd.org website)... 

It's a bit dated now (I think it was last 
updated in FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4 days), but
you might find the following picobsd doc
useful:

  http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~brucem/pico_notes.htm

  More modern versions of FreeBSD are larger and harder
to fit on a floppy; interesting things can be done,
however... on an small old machine you might even find
running an older version of FreeBSD worthwhile.
