Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I, for one, would like to see this bundled with the default distribution and I think our existing degree of crypto separation is enough to take care of the legal issues, not that anyone really knows what those are anymore since the latest round of Clinton administration statements. In today's environment, ssh is far more useful than telnet or rlogin, yet we bundle both. It would be nice to have a system come up for the first time already capable of being logged into remotely in a secure fashion - it would save me, for one, a lot of extra hassle in installing new machines since getting ssh on there is a necessary component to being able to leave a drafty machine room and continue the installation and configuration from a more comfortable place. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
