10      FreeBSD(stable):  
       o read more about BSD package systems (pkg, cvsup)  
         x for simple package installation/de-installation use pkg  
           x install downloaded package:  
               :# pkg_add {package}-{version}.tgz  
           x install package via remote server(only if package is available as *latest*):  
                 pkg_add -r {package}.tgz  
         x using cvsup  
           x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html  
           x newbies could use cvsupit:  
               :# pkg_add -r cvsupit.tgz  
             - cvsupit will proberly ask you for the default values it  
               place at /etc/cvsupfile, which is used by cvsup  
             - after that it will start cvsup to update your system  
           x if /etc/cvsupfile already exists and you know what you do,  
              this command will update your system (maybe run it via cron...):  
               :# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile  
              where '-g' tells cvsup not to use a GUI, '-L 2' sets default output level to 2  
           x for available cvs tags, look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html  
       o whats about daemon start-stop scripts (like at linux: /etc/init.d/) ?  
       x configure and compile custom kernel:  
         x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html  
         x create custom kernel conf-file  
           - cd usr/src/sys/i386/conf/  
           - copy default kenrnel GENERIC to eg MYKERNEL  
           - edit/modify MYKERNEL  
         x configure sources(really?)  
           - run /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL  
         x build kernel  
           - cd ../../MYKERNEL  
           - make depend  
           - make  
           - make install  
       x use packet fiters (firewall):  
         x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html  
         x some options at the kernel have to be enabled:  
           - options IPFIREWALL  
            Compiles into the kernel the code for packet filtering.  
           - options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE  
            Enables code to allow logging of packets through syslogd.  
            Without this option, even if you specify that packets should be logged in the filter rules,  
            nothing will happen.  
           - options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10  
            Limits the number of packets logged through syslogd on a per entry basis.  
            You may wish to use this option in hostile environments in which you want to log firewall activity,  
            but do not want to be open to a denial of service attack via syslog flooding.  
            When a chain entry reaches the packet limit specified, logging is turned off for that particular entry.  
            To resume logging, you will need to reset the associated counter using the ipfw(8) utility:  
                   :# ipfw zero 4500  
            Where 4500 is the chain entry you wish to continue logging.  
           - options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT  
            This changes the default rule action from ``deny'' to ``allow''.  
            This avoids the possibility of locking yourself out if you happen to boot a kernel with IPFIREWALL support but have not configured your firewall yet.  
            It is also very useful if you often use ipfw(8) as a filter for specific problems as they arise.  
            Use with care though, as this opens up the firewall and changes the way it works.  
         x firewall is enabled at /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.local)  
              firewall_enabled = "YES"  
              firewall_type = "{firewall_type}"  
           x where {firewall_type} is either a case at /etc/rc.firewall (/etc/rc.firewall6 for ipv6)  
              or some custom file to read rules from.  
           x  Use firewall_type = "OPEN" for default policy 'OPEN' (allow all)  
   
   
   - Backup:  
     x bacula (http://www.bacula.org)  
        Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup,  
        recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds.  
        In technical terms, it is a network client/server based backup program.  
        Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features  
        that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.  
        Bacula source code has been released under the GPL version 2 license.  
       x created debian package, cause we can't found any other  
         x wrote some notes about how to build an debian binary package  
             http://www.netfrag.org/~jonen/computing/notes/build_bacula_deb.html  
         o create 'postinst' and 'prerm' scripts for saving configs on update, etc.  
       x tested network backup with Director, Storage Daemon and File Daemon(Client)  
          at different hosts, works great!  
       x tested backup to FileStorage, instead of using tapes drives  
          (if someone would like to sponsor some tape drive, you're more than welcome!)  
        notes:  
         x remember to use different 'LabelFormat' filename at each pool !  
         x use compression at 'FileSet' definition, where GZIP is equal to GZIP6, means compression-level 6 (1-9)  
          example:  
            # ====== snip FileSet ============  
            FileSet {  
              Name = "Full Set"  
              Include = signature=MD5 compression=GZIP {  
              /home  
              }  
             Exclude = { *.o }  
           }  
            # ====== snip FileSet ============
