Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I note that the default setting for FreeBSD installations (as of 2.2.5) is still to start routed. Considering that the vast majority of users are on leaf nodes with a single connect to the Net, this doesn't make sense, and it frequently causes problems with PPP dialups. Can't we change the default to not starting the daemon? Greg
