I'm not suggesting we "ruin" anything. exit 0 isn't the only way to disable something by default. My main concern is of security. I know a newbie who installed Debian recently, and he has something like 15 open ports, which wouldn't be a problem except for the history of these daemons to have root exploits. I just don't think I should have to "lock down" a Debian machine that is going to be used for nothing but web browsing, nor should a newbie have to. I like OpenBSD's security level option that you can set at install time. -- Dwayne C. Litzenberger - dlitz@dlitz.net
