[edit] Serial console
- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/console-server/freebsd.html
- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
Assuming you want to use keyboard/video as well as serial:
echo "-D" > /boot.config
In /boot/loader.conf:
boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole"
In /etc/ttys:
ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure

[edit] Upgrading
cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=mykernel make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernel
or
portupgrade -P -f -a
[edit] Courier-imap certificates
check out /usr/local/share/mkimapdcert
[edit] crontab: temp file must be edited in place
Happens when you set EDITOR=vim. Fix it by setting :set nobackup and :set nowritebackup in .vimrc
[edit] ping: sendto: Permission denied
That's when you try to ping from inside a jail.
sysctl:
security.jail.allow_raw_sockets: 0

[edit] Ports
[edit] Post install messages
/usr/ports/*/*/pkg-message
[edit] exclude from csup
To exclude for example /usr/ports/japanese, put in /var/db/refuse
ports/japanese
sample: /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/refuse (or a refuse file in whatever base you defined in supfile)
[edit] config options used for a port
/var/db/ports/*/options
[edit] ssh taking a long time
In /etc/ssh/sshd_config
UseDNS no
[edit] files installed by ports
/var/db/pkg
[edit] Using large ( >2T ) drives
gpt create mfid1
create a 'slice' of 200000 sectors (this will automagically create /dev/mfid1p1
gpt add -s 2000000 mfid1
create one taking up the rest (/dev/mfid1p2)
gpt add mfid1
[edit] Migrate users/accounts
http://www.ggis.biz/wiki/index.php/FreeBSD_-_Migrate_Users
After editing /etc/master.passwd run
pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd
(careful with this not entirely tested advice )
[edit] truss: cannot open /proc/curproc/mem: No such file or directory
kldload procfs mount_procfs /dev/procfs /proc
But you're supposed to use sysctl?
[edit] Networking
