Actually, what we are arguing about is a philosophy.

Taken to an extreme, you can follow the sun philosophy and ship a
unix system out of the box with "+" in /etc/host.equiv or you can
take the approach that we should ship a system that is reasonably
secure for someone to install out of the box on the net.

Do you really want to have to answer the hate mail when Joe Linux-twit
installs FreeBSD for the first time and gets raped because he didn't know
he needed to set a password on 'toor' ?

Which do you want, Jordan?
