Hi All,
Anybody got any strong feelings about moving the existing "Network
Communication" <part> out of the Handbook, and using it to seed a new
FreeBSD Networking Handbook?
Probably in two parts. The first part is an introduction to networking,
IP and the like. This is where things like
Firewall
Routing / Gateways
Wireless
Bridging
NAT
all sit.
The second part is a collection of chapters, one per network service,
taken from the "Network Servers" chapter (make each <sect1> in there a
chapter in its own right.)
Having done that, break them down in to two more <sect1>s, "Client", and
"Server", either of which might be optional if it doesn't make much
sense.
So you'd have:
Ch. Inetd
Synopsis
Terminology
Server
Ch. E-mail (SMTP) [1]
Synopsis
Terminology
Client
Server
Ch. NIS
Synopsis
Terminology
Client
Server
Ch. NFS
...
and so on.
