I also think "traditional/classic" fortune(s) should be left in base, with the .login/.profile default set to freebsd-tips. Every day the logwatch email provides me with output from fortune. Over the years I've learned of many interesting people, quotes and events this way. I've never been presented output that is even marginally offensive. (actually, I've seen much more offensive content on this mailing list 8-) If fortune is eliminated from base, IMHO this will be a loss for FreeBSD. john
