As a start I'd recommend, specific to the services you mentioned, - the FreeBSD book from Walnut Creek, hopefully you ordered that with the CD and from www.ora.com: - Apache - DNS and BIND - Sendmail but cruise around www.ora.com while you're there. There have plenty of other books you will need if you're going to succeed at this. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
