Add more login users if you like.

It’s recomended to change the default ssh port 22 to something else to protect from spam.

If Ports Collection already installed you can update it using :

Update locate database lookup file to make it easy find and search files using command:

  • #/usr/libexec/locate.updated.

#locate apache

#cd /usr/ports/www/apache22

#make install
