How do you disable rebooting the systems with Ctr-Alt-Del sequence from the console? (aka Redmond shuffle ;-)) The fresh installation allows anybody do a reboot with this key sequence. I want to disable it pronto. Also, is there an equivalent of shutdown.allow/deny? 2.) This is highly subjective, but what are some generally accepted partitioning schemes for a general purpose Web and Mail server? I'm mostly concerned with the sizing of /var and I would like to keep the variable data on it's own partition. I have 18GB to slice to start, and the bulk of the data will be databases, html-docs, mail and logs. 3.) What happened to the "free" command? I use "free" all the time in Linux, what is the equivalent in FreeBSD (besides vmstat)? 4. Does 4.4-RELEASE include dirprefs enhancement? 5. Should I consider Soft Updates for my production system?
