I have an opportunity to showcase Freebsd at work. In other words I am suggesting a project to be done with FreeBSD and have got positive signs. One of the concerns though have been security. While I am learning user related topics at home I am going to need a crash course in Unix administration since at work I will have to manage users. The questions: When Freebsd boots I have noticed that it starts certain daemons. I don't recall which ones, but at least the ftp daemon is loaded. I need to dissable ftp, find out other daemons that are loaded and perhaps stop them from loading too. I want to start with a news server ONLY to begin with until I get better acquainted with the other daemons. I would also appreciate suggestions with Unix administration books. I am going to check the handbook for the suggestions there, but what I need is a book that could be easily found in a bookstore. Some of the books suggested in the handbook are not readily available. Last time I stopped by my favorite computer bookstore the only thing I could find related to BSD was a book with the "design" of freebsd. What other Unix, preferably commercial, is close enough to FreeBSD so I could get the admin details from it. Perhaps an O'reilly(?) book (do they mail order?) may do the trick.
