[samansk]

In linux have Webmin tool the webbase tool to access to the server for configuration many things .Can we use this tool in freebsd or it's have anothers?

You can use Webmin for FreeBSD, but serious FreeBSD users would *never* use a graphical tool to administrate their server. The command line can be much faster, and there is less chance of things going wrong.

If you are taking the time to learn FreeBSD (a Good Thing), then I suggest you take the time to learn how to edit all the configuration files manually. Use a good text editor (ee, pico, vi), and once you know the system, you will be able to change settings faster than any other way. It's not that difficult.

Check out Secure Shell. (

http://www.ssh.com)

This is a secure form of Telnet, where the data and passwords are encrypted, so no one can sniff your information. You can also choose which port you want it to use (default is 22).

You can download the ssh server and client for both Unix and Windows, so you can administrate your server remotely from any machine. The ssh download also gives you 'sftp', which is a secure encrypted form of FTP. I believe Telnet should never be used again for server administration, since passwords and data are sent in clear text.

Even if you use Webmin, there are some things you just cannot do without a command-line shell.
