I don't know if this has been considered recently, but how well liked is the ide of removing SSH from the default install and putting it into the ports tree? It seems to me that it's the source of at least one very recent well documented security problem, and just adds steps to being able to use a box in the first place... even UUCP hasn't has a vulnerability announcement as recently as SSH. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
