If we are going to start debating what should be IN a base OS, I know im not alone when I say that almost every server we have should be ripped out and made an install option. When the user installs it should ask: Do you wish to install an MTA? Y/N? If their answer is yes bring up a menu that has Sendmail, postfix, and qmail listed. Same for telnet|ssh, DHCP, UUCP, All of these servers should not be in the base OS AFAIC. I agree that FreeBSD should be a server PLATFORM. But it doesnt have to automatically install every server under the sun. If I use it only for web servering on a single box, I dont expect to have to go in and flip off sendmail, telnet, etc.. It should come with nothing installed and during install the user should be able to install the bits he or she chooses. I know im not alone in this line of thinking. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
