Looking for feedback on a basic blueprint for a small office using BSD.
Situation: Small office with maybe five workstations.
Question: What would an all BSD setup look like?
Solution that comes to mind:
* Single server for DNS, DHCP, LPD, SMTP, IMAP, and home directories.
* Full install with whatever desktop environment is chosen.
* automount home directories.
* Instead of NIS, maybe cron job to rsyc files like /etc/passwd,
/etc/hosts, /etc/printcap from central server.
Does anyone out there have a similar setup?

I have that. I suppose I can send details on what I've setup if you
want. Let me make some comments relative to your solution:
1. You want more that one server for availability. If your single server
goes down, all 5 employees will be non-productive.
2. I don't see a firewall.
3. I don't see a backup solution. This is critical.
4. You might consider a network printer rather than sharing one through
your server.
