Re: KDE INSALL
I'm sorry I wasnt clearer, this machine is only going to be used to scan incoming mail, the mail will then be forwarded to the Production Mail server, I read an article that this is not only feasible , but actually a good practice, as spam and virus infected messsages wont take spacee in the production server.

However KDE does not offer tools to setup your mail server, so if this machine is only intended as a mail server there is no point. KDE does take a lot of disk space though, which might be an issue with a machine that old - if you get a lot of emails. I would remove KDE if this is just a server. If you want a machine for a guest to check email on once in a while, while you are on your main machines, than leave KDE there. Installing things like X and KDE on a mail server isn't the best idea from a secuiry stand point, just because you never know what could be wrong. It is your choice. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: KDE INSALL
Well since i'm totally new to this, I wanted some type of gui, the machine specs are 450 mhz with 256 ram so I guess I should remove the kde install?? I have verified my reverse DNS and it all checks out, and when I subscribed I did get the confirmation request from the list and activated it, all I have been receiving delayed delivery messages,,, From: Toomas Aas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: jean-paul natola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: KDE INSALL Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 21:23:34 +0300 jean-paul natola wrote: I ran make install clean for kde and after 4 days i *think* I'm almost done,, I am now at a promt for GNU ghostscript drivers and have NO CLUE as to what to select , my purpose for the FREEBSD install is to run mailscanner , what should I select , if any, for the GNU ghostscritp driver selection. If all you're concerned with is the mailscanner, it doesn't matter at all what you select here. Just accept the defaults. However, if all you're concerned with is the mailscanner, why are you installing KDE at all? Typical mail scanning software doesn't need KDE, and it sounds like you have a machine that is too slow anyway to run KDE in any usable manner (if 'make install' is still not done after 4 days).

It will wate resources at best and open up more security issues that you will have to track in the long run. Most people prefer just install the base system along with the specific software for the task at hand for most servers (in your case which ever mail filtering software you will be using). The joy of unix is being able to admin. boxen remotely via ssh very easily, so there is really no need for a full blow gui on a server. for more info on setting up a mail scanner under FreeBSD I would read the online documentation carefully.
