Well maybe create a daemons system. Something like ports but only with daemons, then all daemons work the same way (regarding where they place the files and what they are called and "what" is in them). Then no daemons it there by default, but when they are installed they all act and look like base daemons? Or something like that......maybe the daemon "ports" should not have 3 ftp server to choose from, but then services like sendmail it not there by default. Terry, what do you think about the /etc/daemons/ suggestion? and the other things about logging, user access file and so on? br db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
