First and foremost thank you for the suggestions and leading me to that great article by Sys Admin Magazine as well as the FAQ and Handbook. I have successfully made the switch from Linux to Freebsd on two of the three machines. The firewall as well as the web server is up. The last machine I have to replace has shell access, email, ftp, and hosts 3 sites. The one thing that I am having problems with is the ports collection. It was extremely obvious which to allow and disallow especially on the web server and firewall because they have specific jobs where the need for a port is limited. If possible can someone give me some Ideas on ports to allow and not to allow as well as useful utilities. One developer told me to install the bare minimum that would allow people to get mail, ftp and if people ask for something then install it later. JOHN PS If someone like myself developed another choice to be added to the setup options that would allow people to setup for these thing out of the box if submitted would it ever make it into the distribution. I have a copy of Sun Solaris and the install included something like I'm suggesting. Just a thought.
