I need a FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE virtual machine for VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.0 I'm an expert in both FreeBSD and VMWare, I just don't have the time to do it myself. The purpose of this machine is to be a simple Web host and mail server. Software to be installed and tested includes latest version of: - Apache - MySQL - PHP - Perl - Postfix - SpamAssassin - a Firewall (please propose one) Requirements: - software should be installed using the FreeBSD port system - everything should be installed in the default locations - I need a firewall to be installed and configure to protect the machine (please propose one) - I need a Perl script that would run daily and detect any outdated ports, sending an e-mail to a SuperUser (OR do an automatic update if you possible) - I need a log rotate routine for logs - of course, Apache should work with PHP, Perl and MySQL - of course, mailboxes should be secure and spam filtered properly - I need a Webmail interface, easy to use. Please propose options. We'll choose one together. - for the Mail Server, client connection should be available with IMAP over SSL (IMAPS) as well as POP3S, and the SMTP should be password protected (using the user's credentials). The MOST IMPORTANT TASK IS, I need you to write a How-to guide on: 1) all the steps you took, with a short description of what you did and the commands you ran, to install any and all required software mentioned above and their dependencies, with screenshots if necessary; 2) all the steps you took, with a short description of what you did and the commands you ran, to configure any and all required software mentioned above, with screenshots if necessary; 3) all the information necessary to add rules to the firewall configuration; 4) all the steps required to upgrade the machine to a new version of FreeBSD (Rebuilding World) for future releases of the OS. 5) this document could be a Word file or Web page. Either will work. I intend to use the How-to guide to train other people at my company. At the end of the project, I expect to get the login information to be able to inspect the machine from a SSL connection. Upon satisfaction, I will demand that 1) the virtual machine and 2) the FreeBSD ISO disk used for the project are both copied on a USB key and send to me by postal services. I propose 3 milestones: 1) Revision of the How-to guide 2) Inspection of the Virtual Machine 3) Reception of the USB key and testing of the VM

I am the right person you need for this task. I am also a Sys Admin like you and I daily work with virtualization tools (like VmWare) and UNIX-like OS. As an example, I already led to success a project involving use of ESXi and 10 different VMs. The VMs were running under Debian but I also have experience with BSD OS. Moreover, as I am also a pentester, I know very well the importance of reports. Thus, I am very good at writing tehcnical papers. PS: I am afraid we cannot meet physically so that I can give you the USB key containing the VM. But I can upload it on a server of mine and you can download it from there.

Hi, check my profile and my portfolio. I guess that says it all. Firewall would be pf. The script would be a bash script that runs ports portmaster daily. Everything else: no problem. I can also arrange that the image and the iso are send from within canada by mail. If you have questions feel free to contact me. KR, Oliver
