Heres my immediate shortlist :-
Setting up DHCP for LAN Clients
Last time I played with DHCP I didn't had too much success, but I was still a complete *nix newbie back then. Ever since I'm just using the DHCP server of my router.
This is a sample config for /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf:
# change this to your own valid setting option domain-name "yourdomain.com";
#change the below to a valid name server address option domain-name-servers 111.222.333.444;
default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 2592000;
# If this DHCP server is the official DHCP server for the local # network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented. authoritative;
# ad-hoc DNS update scheme - set to "none" to disable dynamic DNS #updates. ddns-update-style none;
# Use this to send dhcp log messages to a different log file (you also # have to hack syslog.conf to complete the redirection). log-facility local7;
#The below uses an address pool of 172.16.1.100 to 172.16.1.199 - 99 #addresses leaving all the others in this class C range for static #allocation (network printers, anything else that needs to be
#in the same place always). Change it if you need more addresses
#or want to use a different range.
subnet 172.16.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 172.16.1.100 172.16.1.199;
option routers 172.16.1.1;
option broadcast-address 172.16.1.255;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}Setting up Samba to Share Files on a Wingroup
cd /usr/ports/net/samba && make all install clean
Setting up a print server for Winclientscd /usr/ports/print/cups && make all install clean
Do note that the configuration of cups can be bit tricky. I never got cups fully up and running.
The biggest prob I've had with cups on FreeBSD is that the BSD lp and lpd are still in /usr/bin, and the cups versions are in /usr/local/bin, which usually comes later in your search paths. The consequence is that cups seems OK, localhost:631 displays the cups management interface in a web browser on the cups server, test pages print OK from this web interface, but applications don't print at all and command line lp tests just whinge about being unable to find a running print server. One fix is to back up the BSD versions and soft link the cups versions to /usr/bin
#mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bak #mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.bak #ln -s /usr/local/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp #ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr
and then add the following to /etc/make.conf:
NO_LPR= true CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
Samba can also use the standard BSD spooler for sharing printers, but a properly set up cups is more automagic.
It's also worth installing gimp-print for a larger range of printer drivers.
Using Samba as a Virtual CD-ROM ServerI suppose that is just a matter of configuring Samba.
Yes, just make a share for the cdrom mount points in the usual way.
