Wouldn't it be better to remove ftpd and sendmail from the base system? People have preferences on that area (FTP and SMTP) and I don't understan= d why we need a smtp daemon in the base system, but not a pop3 daemon. Pers= onally I use ftpd, but I don't like sendmail and would like to install all my da= emons manually (well not all, syslogd it good and there is no good alternativs.= ..I think). I am a guy who likes a small kernel and base system, be course I use Free= BSD as a server. But even for those how use freebsd as a workstation, it woul= d be nice to get rid of sendmail. Just an idea, what do you think? br db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
