I have always found this to be a problem with FreeBSD: why can't sendmail, bind and the other contributed software be made optional at install time, so that the base system is not cluttered with old software when we install new versions? The tight coupling of contributed software into the base system is in my opinion not a good idea. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
