== Essential Ports == === ftp/wget === * Retrieve files from the Net via HTTP and FTP === misc/gnuls === I miss the colorized output of ''ls'' seen on most Linux systems... Installing the gnuls port and adding the following to ''/etc/csh.cshrc'' will add this missing convenience to FreeBSD: alias ls gnuls --color=auto -h === net-mgmt/net-snmp === * An extendable SNMP implementation === net/tcpick === tcpick is a textmode sniffer libpcap-based that can track, reassemble and reorder tcp streams. Tcpick is able to save the captured flows in different files or displays them in the terminal, and so it is useful to sniff files that are transmitted via ftp or http. For example, to intercept and view a POP3 login via the rl1 interface, use the following command: tcpick -i rl1 -p -bU -T1 "port 110" === ports-mgmt/portaudit === Checks ports against a list of security vulnerabilities. Also adds a daily periodic job to include vulnerabilities in currently installed ports in the daily security e-mail. To disable checking ports again portaudit during installation set the environment variable as follows: DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes === ports-mgmt/portupgrade === Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or packages. You can upgrade installed packages without having to reinstall depending or dependent packages. It can automatically trace dependency chains up and down upgrading packages recursively. This package also includes the following utilities: * portinstall - Helps you install new ports in a handy way. * portcvsweb - Instantly lets you browse change history via CVSweb. * portversion - Replaces pkg_version(1) and helps you upgrade packages with portupgrade(1). (runs much faster) * portsclean - Cleans ports workdir's, unreferenced distfiles, old and orphan shared libraries, and stale packages. * portsdb - Creates binary database from the ports INDEX. * ports_glob - Expands ports globs. * pkg_deinstall - Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides additional features. * pkg_fetch - Fetches packages from a remote site. * pkg_glob - Expands package globs. * pkg_which - Checks which package a file came from quickly. * pkgdb - Manages and searches the package database. '''Example:''' Rebuild OpenSSL and all packages that depend on it: portupgrade -rfx openssl openssl === security/sudo === * Allow others to run commands as root === sysutils/libchk === * Tool to check library linking === sysutils/screen === Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Screen is extremely handy for running commands that may take an extended time to complete. One can start a command, close their terminal and later re-attach another terminal to their session without interrupting the command(s) that are completing. It can be also used to attach multiple users to a single screen session to allow easy collaboration. === sysutils/smartmontools === Adds S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) disk monitoring tools. This suite of tools is extremely handy to allow the administrator to be aware of disk problems before they result in a catastrophe. See the following links for more information: * [http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ smartmontools Home Page] * [http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983 Monitoring Hard Disks with SMART] (Linux Journal) Example commands: * smartctl -l selftest /dev/ad0 * smartctl -t long /dev/ad0 * smartctl -Hc /dev/ad0 === dns/nss_mdns === * NSS module implementing multicast DNS name resolution
