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?
