Hi,
I will soon need a couple of very powerful server running FreeBSD
(perhaps 2.1.5), and it will be NFS, mail, DNS, NNTP, firewall, HTTP,
FTP, login, router etc server. I have in mind about 4GB disk space and
32MB RAM to start off with.
However I remember someone saying that to support large numbers of
logins etc, the kernel needs to be configured differently for various
parameters. If so, can the kind person please reply to me for the
appropriate instructions/changes to the kernel etc ?
Thanks in advance, and please CC by email if reply to the group.
