It handles the shell accounts and news. News is handled by nntp and cnews. It also holds the pop mail boxes for dialup slip and ppp accounts. The terminal server actually handles the slip and ppp accounts with the FreeBSD box only doing authentication on them.. I don't think the system would handle the slip and ppp along with everything else. There are a lot of core dumps all over the place and an occassional memory fault. sh in particular seems to produce a lot of core dumps. It could be due to the load of work that the system is doing all the time ;-). This is 2.0 though. I haven't had the time to update to a later version as the system is just too busy. We have 7 phone lines with 6 more due for installation any day now. We're putting together another FreeBSD box that will do nothing but handle news. It will hav the latest version of FreeBSD installed. It will be interesting to see how that box does since it will have slightly different hardware and a newer version of the OS ;-). I'll let you know how things go after we have the other system online. We're just waiting for the memory to come in.
