  • Free Issue to Download!

  • A first look at PC-BSD 8 release

    With the release of FreeBSD 8.0 it’s only a matter of time before we can expect the next version of PC-BSD. At the time of writing plenty of work was being done to prepare PC-BSD 8.0.


  • Installing and securing an Apache Jail with SSL on FreeBSD

    The Apache HTTP server developed by the Apache Software Foundation 1 is the most popular webserver software in use today installed at over 100 Million 2 sites worldwide.

    Building web applications has become so popular that you can’t imagine Internet as a static system any more.

  • LDAP on FreeBSD

    Keeping your information synced across multiple systems can be a pain. While there are many ways to ensure consistency in your media and documents (rsync and scp work wonders in this area), there are not too many options for maintaining your address book.

    Secure and stable email servers are important for everyone who is using email. Most of the communication in companies is done by sending and receiving emails. So, reliable email systems are very important for each Internet company.

    Developers of server-side, desktop and mobile applications working with FreeBSD now get access to Solid File System – a well-known component designed by EldoS Corporation. FreeBSD-developers have an ability to store documents and files in a highly secure robust and flexible file system with no run-time fees. Clean room implementation allows royalty-free business applications.


  • Web Server Benchmarking

    I cannot lie; I had an extremely difficult time determining what to write about for this issue of the magazine.


  • OpenSSH: common but underappreciated

  • Interview with Olivier Cochard-Labbé, Founder of FreeNAS

    The FreeNAS project (http://freenas.org/freenas), founded by Olivier Cochard-Labbé in 2005, is an open source network attached storage distribution. The project offers a simple, elegant way for home users and network administrators to host data on a small, stable platform at very low cost.

  • After entering your email, wait for the “newsletter” email in your mailbox. Click on the link in the email and you can start downloading. I had mine downloaded. :)

  • Why are you using faint grey text on white backgrounds on this site (as with the article abstracts, and even fainter for the authors’ names!)?? It is very difficult to view. It seems to be a trend on a lot of websites, which are all consequently harder to view than need be. It makes want to quit quickly.

  • Issue PDF file downloaded fing for me – you DO need to re-enter your email to get to the download step (must just be some sort of verification/counter requirement?).

    HTH,

  • A suggestion: since the “magazine” is only produced electronically now for downloading, why not format the pages in a layout optimized for onscreen viewing? The one thing I hate about typical PDF docs is that they are formatted for printing, and thus require constant scrolling and/or zooming to read on a computer screen – that is so 1990’s!

    Please consider the most likely end-use of the issues (altho I am sure some folks will want to print out articles, but even so, landscape mode printouts should be quite readable and usable).

    FWIW

  • Excellent guys, no problems with the download so far. This is very useful info and needed so BSD get on top of all OS’s either on the server or desktop side.

  • Hello everyone,

    Thank you for your compliments.

    For all those, who might have problems with downloading – all you need to do to download a file is provide your email address (if you are subscribed) or subscribe to our newsletter first, click the download link and provide your email address then.

    Best regards,
    BSD Mag Team

  • Download?? Entered email, confirm displayed in Polish, and no email link to download….I really like the mag and a BSD fan all the way but this site is mickey mouse and looks like the firm that manages the publication might be as well!

  • Odd situation here, I was able to download a file…‘file-802584503.flv’
    …renamed it as a .pdf file and now I can read it. Of course I am behind a firewall. Hope this helps somebody out.

    Thanks BSDMAG for all that you do, this looks like an awesome issue!

  • How can I contact with the authors? I have a problem with the OpenBSD IPsec VPN article. The ipsec.conf (with the same settings) in the article doesn’t work for me, I still get the ‘Syntax error’ message, and I couldn’t find any solution for the problem on the internet.

  • First, make sure the line breaks are correct in ipesec.conf. An extra space after the ‘\’ character will cause a syntax error.
