I have a FreeBSD firewall which does packet filtering and NAT.
The internal address range is 172.16.64.0/24. The only filtering
is incoming on the external NIC, fxp0.
The machine also runs mpd for remote access.
By pure chance I was tailing ipf.log when I connected an XP laptop
to the mpd
My current situation is that I have a Solaris based NIS server
and various client machines, including FreeBSD.
A production FreeBSD 5 machine and a test FreeBSD 6 machine work just
fine with it, except for a small glitch on the FreeBSD 6 machine:

We've been using NIS-based automounter maps for ages, using a

and some use amd, notably the FreeBSD boxes.

mkisofs from sysutils/mkisofs will not accept files over 2 Gb

So if you install mkisofs-devel you can then use
