FTP If you do not wish to open up NFS for access to the installer you also can utilize FTP. This method works just like an FTP install from install floppies. We have already configured TFTP so FTP is as just a breeze. BUT by default on fbsd anonymous access is not allowed yet the installer wants to log in anonymously to do an ftp install. Add a ftp user and anonymous users will be allowed. An option in the install.cfg gives you the ability to hardcode a user and password for ftp access. You may use this option but security doesnt improve. Since you have to hardcode the user/pw in a file any hacker could read that file and log in anyway. I find this option less useful than it seems but you might want to utilize it. |
