No, this is all in ports, just as in FreeBSD.. FreeBSD is very minimalistic as well.. Especially if we compare it to the vast majority of linux distributions as well as Solaris etc. First of all.. You CAN disable sendmail and inetd right from the configuration menu in sysinstall, in fact, defaults/rc.conf defaults to having these off as of 4.1.1.. I'm not sure how minimalistic you're looking for.. perhaps try picobsd, that should be small enough for ya! ------- Jason DiCioccio Unix BOFH mailto:jasond@epylon.com 415-593-2761 Direct & Fax 415-593-2900 Main Epylon Corporation 645 Harrison Street, Suite 200 San Francisco, CA 94107 www.epylon.com OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:kris@FreeBSD.ORG] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 6:27 PM To: Ralph Huntington Cc: Andreas Alderud; security@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Installer On Tue, Oct 31, 2000 at 08:31:56AM -0500, Ralph Huntington wrote: > On Tue, 31 Oct 2000, Andreas Alderud wrote: > > > I'm curious if I'm the only minimalist around here, personally I find it > > much simpler to secure and administrate a box if it just includes only the > > stuff that is absolutly needed. > > You might prefer a more minimilist BSD, e.g., OpenBSD. Personally, for the Well, I'm not sure how minimal OpenBSD really is given that it includes things like web browsers and web servers in the base system. Not having ever installed it I don't know whether this stuff is installed by default, but I'd be surprised if there was a vast difference.
