I spend 2 years choosing the best OS for my server and personal use, the first choice was between Windows vs Unix, then Linux vs BSD and then Openbsd vs FreeBSD. Now I have read and learned a great deal about FreeBSD and I'm not leaving! I really love this OS! ;-) Do you find it logical that all the ftp config files are floating around in /etc? Together with sendmail and other config files? I am just talking about cleaning up in /etc. I have learned about the different files, but for the sake of future users and our self we should do this. Don't get me wrong, I will always think of FreeBSD as a server system and I wish for a small base system, but when more daemons and other programs is added, this problem is only going to get worse. The other things I was talking about was more power over the daemons, by controlling the answers, commands and what it should log and where to log it. Also a main user access, daemon startup and maybe main (network?) log-conf file. In FreeBSD 5.0 the kernel has moved to /boot, so why not continue this clean up with daemons? br db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
