I suspect it's already been discussed before, so I'll ask instead of flaming. (See! I can learn!) Why does a server automatically get run just because it's installed? For instance, portmap is installed by default whether you're using NFS or not, and bnetd runs even if I just installed the package for bnchat. Shouldn't the default be to not run daemons unless they are explicitly enabled, like an "exit" at the beginning of all daemon-starting init scripts that must be commented out? -- Dwayne C.
