In "Talking to the MTA" you're giving an example of an SMTP transaction. But the
format you're using for the "mail from" and "rcpt to" addresses are not correct as
they're missing the brackets around the address.
Here's an example of how it works/fails:
eivind@vimes:~ > telnet vimes.eivind 25
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to vimes.eivind.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 vimes.aminor.no ESMTP Postfix (2.0.16)
ehlo aminor.no
250-vimes.aminor.no
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 40960000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
250-XVERP
250 8BITMIME
mail from: eivind@aminor.no
501 Bad address syntax
mail from:<eivind@aminor.no>
250 Ok
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
eivind@vimes:~ >
Note: This is with "strict_rfc821_envelopes = yes" in main.cf, so your example will
_work_ with a default Postfix installation.

The default entry from /etc/login.conf is shown and then it's described that certain
limits are imposed ("The user may have up to 64 processes." for example) but the
entry from login.conf shows all values as "unlimited".

Last paragraph |
The book says that /etc/services lists the IP services the system supports. That
sounds a bit incorrect to me. My native language is not English so I may misinterpret
things, but that text could lead me to believe that FreeBSD supports the services in
/etc/services such as 534 tcp/udp (MegaMedia Admin) etc.

1st paragraph |
The text gives an example from "cvs log Makefile" (on page 583), and on the top of
page 584 it says "That's the purpose of the line head:," but the example on page 583
doesn't contain that text.
