Just need to clarify something here.

I read some articles that discuss how easy to hack a box running a
mis-config NFS server or exploit some NFS holes.

Based on that, for every new installation, I always enter "NO" for NFS
during installation, and comment out the NFS file system in the kernel
and recompile it.

Now, am I going too far? Or the default installation is already secure?
I don't have the answer and need some input.

These days, a lot of freebsd boxes are standalone and there is no need
to share filesystem with another *unix box. For those guys who need it,
I am pretty sure they knew how to turn this baby on.

Peace =)
