Setting up and Installing Rancid on FreeBSD for Cisco Products

Setting up and Installing Rancid on FreeBSD for Cisco Products What is Rancid? Rancid is an application that monitors a devices configuration including software and hardware. The configuration is then stored in a Concurrent Version System or CVS. Most of the time it is used to back up router, switch and firewall configurations, as well as notify you when a configuration has changed, i.e a firewall rule or a routers IP address or access list change. here is an example of the output =================================================================== retrieving revision 1.29 diff -u -4 -r1.29 mpls-jhb-pe1 @@ -288,9 +288,9 @@ ! interface Serial0/0 description Link to Client X bandwidth 2048 - ip address 192.168.1.244 255.255.255.254 + ip address 192.168.1.234 255.255.255.254 ip route-cache flow ip tcp header-compression iphc-format ip tcp compression-connections 256 ! ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 the - symbol represents what was removed the + symbol represents what was added The abo

FreeBSD, Postfix, Mailscanner and Mailwatch Installation

Installing postfix, mailscanner and mailwatch on FreeBSD I have setup a number of servers using mailscanner and postfix to do antispam and antivirus checking.

You can also use the server as a pop3/imap4 server and doing so, does make life a little easier as you don't have to worry about the transport and relay_hosts files. At a later stage I will show that info too..... when I get a chance. This my seem strange but as there is quite a bit involved in installing and configuring I am splitting this into two How-To's this one, The install How-To and the configuration How-To First off its probably best to start on a new install of FreeBSD. Once you have done the initial portsnap fetch and portsnap extract Right here we go.
