    Do you need an antivirus on FreeBSD today ?

    In addition to all the above: always remember that computer security is an ever ongoing process, not a product which you can turn on or off. For example: no virus scanner is going to protect you from someone trying to trick you into running their home-made ransomware. But a process where you...

    How can I figure out the dependencies ports tree for a specific port

    Check the ports manual page, it'll list all build targets. From the top of my head you'd want run-depends-list and/or build-depends-list. Keep in mind that those other ports can have dependencies too.

    Solved Pkg: "No address record" with http ports open (PF)

    Pretty much sounds like a DNS lookup issue.

    Please create a -current forum

    They did, it's called STABLE and if you want even better quality then RELENG is the way to go, as in: an official release. Don't forget that one of the reasons CURRENT exists and has been made public is to allow people to help the developers test stuff. Most developers work in their own free...

    Please create a -current forum

    You sure don't understand your basics: CURRENT is "broken by design", heck, even the official documentation states as much for that same reason. So... Uhm... I guess you know better than the people who actually maintain FreeBSD? All uncontrolled active development goes into this release. Yah...

    Solved Git pull not pulling in updates!

    Try using to use - a for the commit. It's hard to tell for sure due to lack of details. Also, why are you doing this as root? That could turn into an issue of its own.

    Multiple versions of same port

    Actually, there isn't any technical limitation here, in the end it all depends on the maintainer and how they set up the package. Normal approach is to maintain the same structure for all future versions in order to make sure that other optional software which relies on your software doesn't...

    Solved Updating from source - when to build world

    When in doubt always look over the Makefile. It lists all the required steps, shows all other available build targets and is usually a good source of information.

    Booting From an Alternate Disk in a Mirrored ZFS Root Pool

    Looks like that guide only bootstrapped one drive. Meaning that the other drive wouldn't be able to boot a system.

    Solved ZFS recover: is it possible to omit importing one pool?

    Late response, I'm also on mobile so a little limited in the search & paste I can do. Try importing the pool in readonly mode, it's a separate option which I didn't seem to see up there. This prevents the ZFS processes from writing (this usually happens a lot), and sometimes gives you the...

    Solved Configure port with only the wanted options

    Actually it's not. If you read more careful then OP wants to avoid building this stuff on the server. Ergo: building packages and then installing those on the server is the right way to go. And well, package is a perfectly valid build target, just see ports.

    Moderator standards

    I have a simple take on all of this, and it applies to this forum just as much as it applies to a place like Steam: "Those who complain the most about moderation also need it the most themselves". Even without knowing any details that's what I'm going for.

    Multiple ssh login attempts inside my system...

    In addition to the above I'd also strongly suggest to disable PAM authentication completely and instead switch to keybased authentication. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to logon without the correct key.

    GIT Authentication using smart HTTP

    I can't help wonder why you're not relying on Apache's own authentication schemes or better yet: SSHd if you need more control over the whole thing? Why try to relay back to Git's HTTP backend when Apache can handle all of this on its own? Unless you have a specific reason for all this my...

    Nope, Sun Solaris. Learn your basics :p

    Issues with permissions on Bind 9 log files

    Do you always try to make things personal whenever you don't like a comment? Assumption on my end, but still... No, I'm not moody, far from it actually. I can't help get the impression that you think I was attacking you or something? I wasn't. I merely corrected you because you shared incorrect...

    Just gotta LOVE git!

    Bias most definitely goes into effect here but I agree (what a surprise...). I got sucked into this one a long time ago and with all due respect (this may sound off to some): if you ask me what the best thing is that came out of the Linux project then my response would be "Git". No disrespect...

    Recommended directory for website data?

    As always it depends on context, there really isn't a "best" solution here. For a server you could opt for moving it into the homedirectory of users so that it'll be easier for them to access and easier for the administration to safeguard ("backup") said data. For personal use you could...

    Issues with permissions on Bind 9 log files

    Errr, no, on both accounts. Permissions hardly depend on the shell, that's silly, those are enforced by the kernel. If anything this behavior depends on the used file system, nothing more and nothing less. For example: ZFS is known to behave slightly different than UFS in this regard, but even...

    Issues with permissions on Bind 9 log files

    Not entirely true, you cannot check their contents but you can still access files in there, provided that you know the exact filename of course.
