I have a small question. When I was administering one freebsd box the things were quite easily. I could easily read the emails that were sent to root, the logcheck reports and the tripwire reports. After administering one box, I was made responsible for other freebsd boxes...The fact is that now the email reports have been multiplied. Also making all the neccesary upgrades, monitoring and other everyday things has been made very time consuming. My question is...Is there any usefull guide or book of how you can administer efficiently large number of freebsd boxes in term of security, upgrades and software deployment? My job is not being a full day system administrator and thus I have to be involved as low time i administering the boxes as possible. Thank you very much in advance for any usefull tip! - --- We are being monitored..but there is a solution... Use PGP for signing and encrypting emails!!!!
