Add something along the lines
hint.hdac.0.disabled=1
to the /boot/loader.conf

hdac being hw you want to prevent from attaching to, 0 being its unit.

After you update your OS and you forgot about this little quirk

edit /usr/local/bin/compiz-manager and change line saying
INDIRECT="no"
to
INDIRECT="yes"

UPDATE (2014-11-15):
Apparently this also depends on nvidia driver, so I am trying to keep the list of those I know work correctly, and those I know don't work correctly.

Working: 331.67, 331.113
Not working: 340.46, 343.22 (works most of the time, but sometimes get crazy), 346.22 similar to 343.22

1. Install /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portaudit in order to receive vulnerability reports with daily security reports
2. Install /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade in order to be able to update ports in easier way
3. When you need to upgrade ports
   • portsnap fetch
   • portsnap update (or portsnap extract if using portsnap for the first time)

Since I wasn't really able to find information how to set this up on one place here is short recipe.

Prerequisites:


man -t page_name | ps2pdf - page_name.pdf


Sometimes this pdf actually looses some formatting (I don't have any idea why), so it might make more sense to create plain ps file

man -t page_name > page_name.ps


Note: You might want to change page size in /usr/share/groff_font/devps/DESC (by default it is set to letter there)

First of all why anyone would do that? Because rdesktop doesn't support newer encryption schemes supported by remote desktop while freerdp does.

Add following to your /etc/pf.conf

# if re0 is your card
$ext_if="re0"
# this goes in the top
table <bad_guys> persist
...
block in quick on $ext_if from <bad_guys> to any


Add following to your /etc/syslog.conf

auth.info;authpriv.info |/root/auth_checker.pl

(assuming that auth_checker.pl is in /root directory)

1. Install erlang from ports
2. grab latest binary tar.gz package from their website download session (file name should be something like rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-X.Y.Z.tar.gz) - unpack it somewhere
3. start server from the directory where you unpack it sbin/rabbitmq-server
4. when you need to stop it run sbin/rabbitmqctl stop
