Network Services—Local Network ServicesSummaryFreeBSD offers a sound platform for local network services. In this chapter welearned to deal with a few of the local network services and protocols—DHCP, TFTP,NFS, SMB, SNMP, Printing, and NIS/YP. FreeBSD provides some of these servicesas built-in, while the others require the network administrators to configure themseparately using the built-in utilities (such as NFS).DHCP describes a means by which network devices access network configurationdetails from the server for communication. This section covers dhclient(8) ,andISC DHCPD daemon and its configuration. TFTP is a simpler version of FTP andrequires the inetd server to run. NFS is a client/server protocol used for filesharing for *nix operating systems. Samba implements SMB protocol, and is usedfor interface in Microsoft environments. SNMP monitors and controls the networkdevices. This chapter discusses the two open source SNMP utilities—Net-SNMPand bsnmpd. FreeBSD has its own print spooler daemons—lpd and CUPs. The finalservices that this chapter discusses are NIS, where a group of workstations share aset of configuration files.[ 258 ]
