The same goes for sendmail's need for syslogd. Thus there are both hard and soft requirements. Lack of soft requirements means degraded, but functional service (e.g. lack of NIS does not mean you should not start getty on the console to permit root logins). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
