Is there a good guide to using "The DJB Way" with FreeBSD?

I'm rapidly becoming a FreeBSD convert (from Linux). I'm also intrigued by djb's software. Is there a good guide to replacing the standard set of FreeBSD utilities with their djb equivalent? It would be swell if that also happened to leverage ports, but I'm willing to do it manually if that's the way to do it.

Thanks.

• djb as in Daniel J. Bernstein? He has a limited set of software that he has written, you are not going to replace many FreeBSD "utilities" with his software. I am not confident that you understand what you're asking.

  I use his software regularly and greatly appreciate his approach to secure software development. However, his lack of consideration of standard UNIX conventions such as the Filesystem Hierarchy can be frustrating. Last I heard, Theo removed djb's software from OpenBSD ports due to his licensing and conflict over the filesystem hierarchy.

  You could replace your MTA with QMAIL.

  You could replace your DNS with djbdns.

  You could run a static content Web server with Publicfile.

  You could run a combination of tcpserver and daemontools instead of a more common superserver like *inetd. daemontools is very useful to keep software running in case of crashing, but you have to run in the foreground.

  Jed Daniels : If I could give an extra +1 for "I am not confident that you understand what you're asking.", I would.

  Hank Gay : I'm aware that there's not a "djbnix". I specifically meant replacing Sendmail w/ qmail and BIND with djbdns, as well possibly using clockspeed, etc. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I was mostly concerned with how to replace important chunks of the system like the MTA, as well as any problems that might arise from things like the difference in expected filesystem layouts you mention.

  Warner : I run QMAIL standard across the board. It's my preferred MTA. If you're not transitioning an existing infrastructure, it should be seamless.
  From Warner

• In addition to Warner's Answer, there are ports for:

  QMail: /usr/ports/mail/qmail
  DJBdns: /usr/ports/dns/djbdns
  Publicfile: /usr/ports/www/publicfile
  

  As a side note I'm not a fan of these software packages. I am a fan of the more popular packages:

  Sendmail - Built in
  Postfix: /usr/ports/mail/postfix
  Courier: /usr/ports/mail/courier (less popular, but my preferred)
  BIND - Built in
  Apache: /usr/ports/www/apache22
  

  In any case, there's several FreeBSD users around this site, so feel free to ask if you have any questions!
