直到VMware ESX(i) 4.0 U2，官方的VMware-tools都未提供对FreeBSD 8.0 amd64的支持，因此改为安装Open Virtual Machine Tools。
[root@yaoge123 ~/vmware-tools-distrib]# uname -a
FreeBSD yaoge123 8.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue May 25 20:54:11 UTC 2010 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
[root@www ~/vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format.
Installing VMware Tools.
……
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: “/usr/local/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl”. Do you
want this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

首先确认是否安装了内核源代码，如果您的系统中没有 /usr/src/sys 这样一个目录， 则说明没有安装内核源代码。安装它最简单的方法是通过以 root 身份运行 sysinstall， 选择 Configure – Distributions – src，选中其中的 base 、sbin和sys。如果提示Warning: Can’t find the `8.0-RELEASE-p3′ distribution on this……，在Configure – Distributions – Options中修改Release Name为8.0-RELEASE，安装完成后用freebsd-update fetch install更新源代码。
然后再安装Open Virtual Machine Tools
cd /usr/ports/emulators/open-vm-tools-nox11
make install clean
至少支持了使用VMware Tools关机（这是HA所必不可少的）和vmxnet2网卡。
/usr/target /usr/mount-point nullfs rw,late 0 0
注意必须在Options中添加“late”，否则启动的时候报错。
下载脚本 http://www.castaglia.org/openssl/contrib/cert-tool ，修改cert-tool中openssl的路径，用这个脚本调用OpenSSL自签名颁发一个证书
cert-tool --create-ca=serverca --signing-ca=self
cert-tool --create-cert=server --signing-ca=serverca.cert.pem --signing-key=serverca.key.pem
修改proftpd.conf，增加TLS配置
TLSEngine on #开启TLS
TLSLog /var/log/proftpd-tls.log #TLS日志
TLSProtocol SSLv23 #允许使用SSLv3和TLSv1
TLSRSACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/server.cert.pem #cert-tool生成的证书
TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /usr/local/etc/server.key.pem #cert-tool生成的key
TLSCACertificateFile /usr/local/etc/serverca.cert.pem #cert-tool生成的CA证书
TLSVerifyClient off #不验证客户端证书。如要启用客户端证书验证，则需要用TLSCACertificateFile这个CA来颁发客户端证书
TLSRenegotiate required off #不强制要求重协商
另外加密传输需要使用FTP命令PROT，如果Deny ALL过，需要Allow
DenyAll
AllowAll
编辑 /etc/login.conf 增加一个language
enutf8|enutf8 Users Accounts:\
:charset=UTF-8:\
:lang=en_US.UTF-8:\
:tc=default:
vipw 编辑ssh登录的用户，在gid后面增加这个language
yaoge123:$1$***:1001:1001:enutf8:0:0:User &:/home/yaoge123:/bin/sh
编辑 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat6
在java_command=中增加如下内容禁用IPv6
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack="true" \
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Address="true" \

HDChina和HDBits上可用的client有Azureus、 BitTornado、 KTorrent、 rtorrent、 Transmission、 uTorrent。uTorrent需要Wine；Azureus(Vuze)和KTorrent需要X，因此都不考虑了。BitTornado 0.3.18 HDChina不认，Transmission 1.61 HDBits不认。rtorrent里凡是没有下载完成的任务，重启后都需要重新hash，Transmission则没有该问题，而且且速度比rtorrent要快。难道用uTorrent + samba？
FreeBSD安装了VMware Tools以后，可以通过VI关闭客户机，但是系统停留在“The operating system has halted.Please press any key to reboot.”不能够自动关闭电源。解决方法为
ee /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-tools.sh
查找vmware_start_guestd()可见
vmware_start_guestd() {
cd "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR" && "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR"/vmware-guestd \
--background "$GUESTD_PID_FILE"
}
在vmware-guestd命令下增加参数–halt-command “/sbin/shutdown -p now”，修改为
vmware_start_guestd() {
cd "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR" && "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR"/vmware-guestd \
--background "$GUESTD_PID_FILE" --halt-command "/sbin/shutdown -p now"
}
保存退出。执行 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-tools.sh restart，重启vmware tools即可。
