You could take some old machines and try to set up some small useful things: - a squid-proxy - a samba/cups printer server p.ex. People at work will see, that freebsd is useful, stable (and cheap), and you will (have to) learn a lot. One day you might substitute your PDC by a freebsd/samba machine.

System and security administration.. Apache, Big Brother, Snort, Snort-Snarf, MRTG, and nmap to name a few. Big Brother, MRTG, Snort-Snarf need Apache to display the data. Snort-Snarf reads the Snort logs and displays them in an html format. nmap can be used to scan systems on your network to detect open ports to give you an indication of what services are on the network. MRTG can be used to monitor your router or just about anything that can provide snmp data and even some things that don't use snmp. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration Cancer Care Network 405-917-0600 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Where to go next
I'm a Windows system administrator trying to learn FreeBSD. I have installed 5.0 on a few machine in my home lab and have the FreeBSD complete reference. My question is, what next? What kind of things, applications etc should I do to get more familiar with the OS? My goal is to use OS for system and security administration. Thanks for any suggestions. - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
