LET’S TALK

Building a Desktop Firewall with pf and

fwbuilder

Dru Lavigne

This article is an excerpt from the Firewalls and VPNs chapter of

the book The Best of FreeBSD Basics (ISBN 9780979034220),

published by Reed Media Publishing.

Everyone knows that you should be behind a firewall whenever

you go online. However, not everyone knows that it’s easy

to create a personal firewall for a FreeBSD (or PC-BSD or

DesktopBSD) system. This section shows how even a casual

home user can get a firewall up and running in about ten

minutes

Performance Comparison ITTIA DB and

SQLite

Sasan Montaseri

ITTIA DB SQL and SQLite are used by software developers

to manage information stored in applications and devices.

Designed to be hidden from the end-user, these embedded

relational database management systems are linked into the

application or irmware as self-contained software libraries.

Interview with Jeff Roberson

Jesse Smith

Any administrator who has rushed to bring a system

back on-line after a crash knows how frustrating it can be to

sit through a filesystem check. It can be a painfully slow, yet

necessary process. One BSD developer, Jeff Roberson, has

found a way to make all our lives easier and system recovery

faster. Jeff took some time out of his very busy schedule

to explain some of the bottlenecks in filesystem

recovery and how he has gone about

speeding up the process.

HOW TO’S

OpenBSD Some Interesting

One Floppy Systems

Juraj Sipos

One floppy systems are very practical, as

they usually have a specific goal, which

cannot be said about all Live CD’s.

Remote Installation

of the FreeBSD

Operating System

without a Remote

Console

Daniel Gerzo

This article documents the

remote installation of the FreeBSD

operating system when the console

of the remote system is unavailable.

The main idea behind this article is the

result of a collaboration with Martin Matuska

mm@FreeBSD.org w ith valuable input provided

by Pawel Jakub Dawidek pjd@FreeBSD.org .

FreeBSD

Experience and

Succes Story

JOSHUA EBARVIA

In 2007, I was hired as a

programmer at University of

the Philippines Open University

(UPOU). I came from a Microsoft

Windows platform and Visual Basic

background. At UPOU, there was no

room for for my skills since they use

various distributions of Linux for servers

and open source programming languages for

applications development.

OpenBSD as Mail Server

Daniele Mazzocchio

In a previous document, we built redundant firewalls

using the CARP and PFSYNC protocols; these were the first

building blocks of a hypothetical, OpenBSD-based, small private

networkthat we are going to build step by step across several

documents.
