Well, FreeBSD is a server system so it is natural to have deamons like ftpd and sshd, in the base system. But like you I wish for a very small og secure base system, also meaning that NO services are started by default. Grafical programs and other unnecessari programs, should not be in the base system. AFAIK the freebsd team is working on making the system more logical structured and pulling the base og port system apart, so maybe this will result in a smaller base system? br db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
