Just looked through the logs and found this: ---------------------------- revision 1.71 date: 2000/07/28 22:45:36; author: eivind; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4 Change the defaults for portmap, sendmail and inetd to be not running them. Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf (instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the things they need to disable to secure the system.) Reviewed by: jhb Discussed with: The usual cabal ---------------------------- So the original change went into -current on 7/28/2000, but I also found this: ---------------------------- revision 1.53.2.53 date: 2002/04/15 00:44:14; author: dougb; state: Exp; lines: +18 -18 MFC en masse. Several of the included changes are mine, however we've gotten pretty far out of synch with -current over the last year or so, this catches us up for everything that makes sense. There are several whitespace only changes here. In an ideal world I would have had time to seperate them out, however I did not. Most of them are included to be consistent with -current, some of them are "improvements" that happened while I was adding things back. Of particular note: /var/log/auth.log /var/run and /var/spool cleanup in rc Early and late rc.sysctl runs New mailq/queurun support in daily scripts ---------------------------- This change _did_ deserve a heads-up, at least to -stable.
