Just so you know, this change has been discussed on other freebsd mailing lists. (which is only to say that this wasn't a rash change which was rushed in without anyone noticing). I think it's fine to disable rcmd in default installs. If you need it for remote dumps, then enable it. No one is removing the service, it is just a matter of you having to turn it on. I agree that changing 'rmt' to work with openssh is a very good idea too. I doubt anyone would object to that happening! --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
