freelance Linux/FreeBSD consultant and writer from the UK and has been working with open-source software since the mid 1990s He first saw Linux while completing his degree in Business Information Systems at Portsmouth University Then while working for Digital Equipment Corp he came in to contact with DEC's Ultrix and later Digital UNIX (formerly OSF/1) While developing enterprise software for DEC on its UNIX platforms he became more and convinced of the benefits of open source and open-source Unix-like operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD After leaving DEC he became a software contractor and after moving to Romania in 2003 he became a freelance Linux/FreeBSD consultant and writer and started publishing articles for the Open Source Technology Group (owners of Linux.com and SourceForge.net) This then led to him writing his first book with Packt I would like to thank my Mum and Dad for their support and enthusiasm while I was writing this book I would also like to thank my wife for her patience and encouragement and my children for their frequent, but yet, welcome interruptions I would also like to thank the FreeNAS community, specifically, Olivier Cochard-Labbé, Volker Theile, and Dan Merschi, without them FreeNAS wouldn't exist I also owe a debt of gratitude to David Barnes (and all the people at Packt) for making this book possible About the Reviewer Nathan

(http://www.bynari.net), to working on Centrify Corporation's ground breaking Active Directory integration and auditing products (http://www.centrify.com) Nathan's own publications have included several articles in trade journals such as SysAdmin Magazine, and co-authoring the Apress book "The Definitive Guide to Linux Network Programming" (ISBN: 1590593227) When not hacking at code, Nathan
