I think it is easier to setup, let's say FTP, if you know ALL the config files are in /etv/daemons/ftp. And the only place to start the ftpd from when booting, is from /etc/daemons/startup. When you add a user, you have to grand him or deny him access to services. This you do by changing a lot of config files, maybe forgetting some? So a central access file, is maybe not so bad. When more services are added, /etc will "explode". We already got /etc/mail and /etc/ssh, why not /etc/ftp? And then put them in /etc/daemons/, it makes more sence. db db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
