### Concept ###

BSD systems are often used to provide Internet services.
Be able to view or make a specified change to a service's
configuration file and recognize the names of the most commonly
used configuration files and which applications they are associated
with.


### Introduction ###

Here is a quick listing of common server program names and configuration filenames with brief descriptions and sample configuration syntax.
This book doesn't cover these server configurations or maintenance.

TODO: please keep this section under a few printed pages.

### Examples ###

#### Apache HTTPD ####

Note: this is included as part of OpenBSD.

#### BIND "named" ####

This is included in default install.

#### DHCP Daemon ####

TODO: the BSDs have different implementations, anything common?

#### Postfix Mail Server ####

Note: Postfix is included in default install of NetBSD.

TODO: this book doesn't cover Postfix administration, but at least cross-reference to two email sections

#### Sendmail Mail Server ####

This is included in default install of DragonFly, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and old versions of NetBSD.

TODO: this book doesn't cover sendmail administration, but at least cross-reference to two email sections

#### Samba ####

TODO: note that this is third-party, but also point out some native "smb" tools/features too.

#### XFree86 or Xorg ####

TODO: should this be briefly mentioned too?
