Note that I answered your questions by telling you where to look in the
documentation, instead of giving you specific technical answers. If you
want specific technical answers, ask at freebsd-questions. But try to
do some research on your own first, like reading the docs, googling,
etc. The people on -questions can spot those who haven't bothered to
read the handbook a mile away...
The reason why this list isn't for technical questions, is because this
list is populated by newbies. Do you really want your technical
question answered by someone who doesn't know any more about it than
you? Of course not! So ask your technical questions in the group where
all the experts hang out.
