Your help would be greatly appreciated. if you want just a firewall & dhcp server, just install ipfw & natd & isc-dhcp, and don't start inetd on the firewall.. from there, use natd to redirect the incoming ports to your seperate servers (ie 25 for mail 21 for ftp etc), and then on each machine, don't run inetd, and run the daemon standalone (or however you want), just don't enable any other services. (ie look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf). it you want to limit diskspace, look into QUOTAS.. that is how FreeBSD does it. basically it is a matter of just enabling just the daemon you want running on that system.. make sure you disable telnet, and have sshd enabled. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | mav@wastegate.net PGP Public Key Fingerprint: 6E7B 9993 B503 6D45 E33A 2019 26E5 C1DB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
