I'm sorry for the long email, but I wanted to lump them all together so I wasn't sending 90 emails. 1) I have a bunch of different jails configured on my BSD system. right now I have PF doing RDR from port 30000+ to the port on the internal jail IP. Obviously having 90 different ssh ports is a bit messy, is there a way around this? Can I somehow set up SSH on the host to let me log into the jail provided a username and password? 2) I would really like to pull together an installation with YASR support to make the installation self-voicing. Can someone give me some ideas in terms of what would be needed? How would I get the YASR package into freebsd installation, and how might I go about detecting a default sound card. 3) I'm starting to migrate my Linode services over to BSD. Is there a way using DNS to migrate web first, then mail? I don't want to shut everything off until I can move web over, make sure it works then move mail. Is there a failsafe solution in case my postfix is broken for the mail to fallback to the Linux server? How have people done this in the past? 4) I would really like to start contributing code and patches to FreeBSD. As of right now, I don't have a bsd system at home that I can reinstall and upgrade without having to worry about breaking things. Is there perhaps a way to do an installation over SSH or something so that I can install FreeBSD in a vm? What do people use for development systems? I thought about buying a cheap $10 server from Arpnetworks, but money is a bit tight at the moment for me. Thanks in advance for the help, -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.
