Thanks for the pointer to this article -- it's quite an interesting tale.

The article itself is written in a style that one might find on a blog, 
which is not really a suitable style for direct inclusion into the FreeBSD 
handbook.  However, I think this would be a helpful example to have, and I 
will look into the possibility of adding it.  (But probably not for a 
month or so, I've got a lot on my plate at the moment.)

Thanks for the writeup and pointing us to it!
