bsd-isp mailing list

bsd-isp is for discussing using a BSD-type operating system for doing internet service provider-related tasks. Some example discussions include questions, answers and comments on configuring a mail server, tuning Apache, using ssh and installing dhcpd.

bsd-isp is not specific to one flavour of BSD. In fact, hopefully, the discussions will be mostly generic for other Unix-like systems. If your ISP-related, BSD-related question is specific to a certain flavour of BSD, be sure to explain and detail the setup and situation. When answering a question or commenting on a thread with BSD-specific details, please let the list readers know that it is specific to a certain BSD. (If you have time or the interest, feel free to share examples for various BSDs.)

This bsd-isp list is mostly for beginning administrators to intermediate users of BSD-like systems. Future lists may include a list for discussions for intermediate to advanced administrators and BSD-specific lists.

Please keep this list on focus. Please do not use to sell or promote any services or products unless explained to be truly applicable to a certain discussion thread.

Please keep this list on topic. For example: please do not use the bsd-isp list for discussing NT situations that aren't applicable to BSD; please do not use this list to discuss X11 and GUI setups unless appropriate for ISPs using a BSD; please do not discuss other OS firewalling or kernel module configurations that do not relate to BSD.
