DesktopBSD 1.6 and FreeBSD 6.3 released.
Setting up a central syslog server.
* If you are concerned about the security of your logs, use a dedicated machine and lock it down.
* Keep clocks in sync.
* You may need to change log rotation schedule in /etc/newsyslog.conf. You can rotate based in size and/or time. This can be as much a policy decision as a hardware decision.
* On central log host, change syslogd flags to listen to network. Each BSD does this differently, so check the man pages. Also, check out the -n flag for busy environments.
* Make sure host firewall allows syslog traffic through.
* Be careful to limit syslog traffic to just the trusted network or hosts. FreeBSD man page refers to syslogd as a "remote disk filling service".
* For heavy logging environments, it is important to have a dedicated network. A down syslogd server can create a lot of "ARP who-has" broadcasts.
* Most network devices such as printers and commercial firewalls support sending to a central syslog server. Take a look at "Snare" for Windows hosts.
* To send messages from a Unix host, specify the host name prepended with @ instead of a file for logging in /etc/syslog.conf. For example, change /var/log/xferlog to @loghost.mydomain.biz. You can also copy and edit the line to have it log to both a local file and a remote host.

A later note from RMS:
In the interview, I said that all the BSD systems " include, in
their installation systems--in some cases I believe it's called a ports system...--they all include some non-free programs". What I meant is that the non-free programs are included in the set of programs that the ports system can install. The ports system software as such is free. For me, distributing a recipe to fetch and install a non-free program is pretty much ethically equivalent to distributing a copy.

Why I like the CLI:
* Uses minimal resources. Less space, less memory, fewer dependencies.
* Transparency. GUI hides internals, limits options.
* Similar between Unix-like systems. GUI tools seem to change every week.
* Remote management. SSH rocks.
* Everything is text. Configs, devices, output. CLI is natural complement.
* Pipes and scripts. One time is hard, a thousand times is easy.
* Only need a few tools. Grep, sed, awk, vi, cron.
* Text config files. Easy to version, share, and comment.
* Requires reading skills instead of clicking skills.
* Much faster when you know what you are doing.

- Important when you don't trust the computer you are using, such as a library computer or internet kiosk.
- Available by default in Free/Net/Open BSD.
- FreeBSD uses OPIE, Net/Open use S/Key.
- One time passwords are based on your pass phrase, a non-repeating sequence number, and a seed.
- Initial setup should be done directly on the server.
- "skeyinit" for Net/Open, "opiepasswd -c" for FreeBSD.
- Enter a pass phrase that is not your regular account password.
- Find your current sequence number and seed with "opieinfo" or "skeyinfo", for example: "497 pc5246".
- Generate a list of the next 10 passwords and write them down, using "opiekey -n 10 497 pc5246" or "skey -n 10 497 pc5246".
- When you log in from a remote machine that might have a keystroke logger, you can now use a one time password instead of your regular password.
- For OpenBSD, log in as account:skey, for example "bob:skey", which will cause the system to present the s/key challenge.
- For NetBSD, the system will always present you with the s/key challenge if it is configured for your account, although you can still use your regular password.
- FreeBSD by default will force you to use a one time password if it is configured for your account.
- If you want both OPIE and password authentication, FreeBSD allows you to list trusted networks or hosts in /etc/opieaccess.
- Instead of carrying a list of passwords around, you can use s/key generators on a portable device that you trust, such as a palm pilot.
- For more info, check the man pages.
