    Point-to-Point Configuration

    First see if you can ping the remotes after connecting the devices. If you are able to ping, you need to configure either dynamic routing (less config lines) or static routing (more lines). This is the very basic, if you need more help feel free to ask :)

    restricting incoming email

    hi, couple of ways to do that. easyest is if you have FQDN to make virtusertable with @domain_in_question.xxx junkmail@localhost which makes all the mail for that domain to go only to one user account. you can also send mail to /dev/null. if you need more, let me know. hth, alex

    All I want to do is enable perl scripts to use sendmail.

    hi you do need perl of course :-). anyway, make sure that the path is right. FreeBSD perl is under /usr/bin/perl by default. here's a piece of code to show you how to send mail via sendmail, using sendmail as a regular file: open(SPAM,"| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); print SPAM...

    updating linux compatability

    hi /compat is symbolic link to /usr/compat. if you wanna change dir, look at the make file. ***** note ***** i'll leave to defaults because porters @ freebsd.org tested under those paths and it will work for sure under default path. everything else is your own risk ***** /note ***** $0.0.2 alex

    How can I update the ports through the firewall?

    howdy, afaik, there's no need for the proxy server or any ip address. why? well, if your box goes online ( and it's behind fw) no need to setup nothing else. -P means to make it passive ( stay on port 21/20) and most of the fw's will aloud that. i'll use -P - (- means select passive mode). no...
