Got it installed OK, but now I'm stumped. BSD is sufficiently different from SYSVR3 (Xenix) that I don't know how to proceed. I want to set up the BSD system to get mail from my ISP, and to be able to telnet etc. out to the world. I presently use uucp. Can anyone suggest any books or guides to help me setup my system properly, enable decent security, etc.? Thanks for any help. -- Regards, Kestas Kestutis Sliupas x (510) 231-1540 (work voice) kestas%lith.uucp@solano.community.net x (510) 231-1285 (work FAX) USA CA
