Hi Andrew, You can use a Linux System with VMWare. Put your FreeBSD machine in a virtual vmware machine of VMware, and make a copy backup of this machine files in your linux file system. You can run IDS and other tools in your linux machine to capture the network traffic and if you have some problems with your FreeBSD machine, just remove or rename the problem machine files and copy your FreeBSD backup files to the system. You can use firewall rules to protect your linux system or don't set IP Address to system. You can use Windows in this solution too, but I prefer Linux system.

I am considering putting a FreeBSD machine onto the internet and offering out free SSH accounts, mainly to give myself first hand experience at server administration. I'm not new to BSD, but i'm no where near good at it, so my question is are: What are the 'must have' have security/administration/monitoring/general tools or documents that i install or should read before doing so? I accept that my server could easily be 'cracked' during my its time connected to the internet, this does not particularly bother me, i just want to learn..
