Chapter 13SummaryFreeBSD can be used as a powerful server platform to host any kind of service youneed to run an internet server (for example WWW, DNS, FTP, and Mail). Some ofthe services are already in the base system, while others can be easily installed fromports system. The only thing you need to do is to modify some basic configurationparameters for each service and start the service application. In most cases, theapplication comes with a default configuration template that mostly fits your basicneeds. However, for a high performance and secure setup, you need to spend sometime to get more familiar with the configuration of each specific application, andtweak the configuration to suit your environment.[ 233 ]
