Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have all my necessary network services running as daemons. In the face of recent discoveries of problems caused for inetd by nmap and various things I've come to the conclusion that I really don't need inetd -- another variable I can eliminated from the mix. Any undesirable side effects come to mind? - Barrett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
