Can we back this out and discuss it on current@? >=20 I concur. In the original review for adding this I predicted today would come, https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6826. I still think that it is very under-designed and under-thought out. I personally agree with hardening my system, but I have a number of issues with this approach: 1. It makes *1 installation* method do hardening, while every other installation method, and *upgrade* methods not do hardening. So someone upgrading from 11.0 to 12.0 won't get hardening, but someone installing from bsdinstall for 12.0 fresh will get it. There should not be a distinction between our installation/upgrade methods like this. 2. It ignores that FreeBSD is *generic Operating System* that serves many workflows. Developers want all of this off, System Administrators want all of it on, and Desktop users may want a compromise of half of it to allow various drivers to work (not pointing at any specific sysctl right now). I think what is really needed is a system profile that lets you pick the workflow you are going to use the system for, and then set some reasonable defaults from there. We will never all agree on the same defaults because we all are using the systems differently, but we can find some compromise if we make Use Cases, such as a System Profile would entail. I too would like to see this backed out. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --shThLlQ5LdurFTRPUxFjUDcq7Cm63IAw0-- --NX4DvRBbf3kvUjiLDMJTSBCJSWXFwimTj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYrfP6AAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPce8IAMrKdkmxSfANidz9cK4+03QZ PmX8urFiLB6/Tz67MDNkoZHmFy2+ScKMqJtGfiWWqyRUbXzm9hf16JKQWmcuP80l o2vkZ038+V46/4dsUD1PLCjMkxnm2/HhwEOHCqE+NaBcFPQpUSYSvRe9SUYPB7K/ g19JyvgTu5Ti1oXUGav7YOGgIy0Q0MHVOqx5+d/zuqiFIykkB+j7hgWMwmE/BK2q /5gAqFme4rsqi+iOg4FSXd+L9GIHKC88Mt0XbFfeiNEmuJDq2QgLQBcL7cXzLpIL UuCuILA2ebbeT5JLqxv1wH1zDfn0WyA7Qfv5wrGzlwrEB/M55ZGBIX2EuiPR/MA= =QcZa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NX4DvRBbf3kvUjiLDMJTSBCJSWXFwimTj--
