Personally, I think the change is a wonderful move. I frankly find it to be a bit of an embarassment to see FreeBSD installing out of the box with such protocols as telnet and rexec running by default. Ideally, I'd like to see the installer properly force the determination of USA_RESIDENT and install the appropriate rsaref / librsaintl libraries so a fresh install could sshd_enable="YES" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf If someone insists on using those antiquated and unsafe protocols like telnet and the r* services, we should at least make sure they're doing it on purpose and not just leaving the defaults in place out of ignorance. -- ________________________________________________________________________ |David McNett |To ensure privacy and data integrity this message has| |nugget@slacker.com|been encrypted using dual rounds of ROT-13 encryption| |Birmingham, AL USA|Please encrypt all important correspondence with PGP!| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
