Robert, it's really, really simple. For new installs, install the new, more secure behavior. Be sure to loudly document this behavior so that those of us who expect the _old_ behavior don't get bitten by the change. And don't change the old behavior in upgrades of existing systems. As I said in my other email, if you _must_ change the defaults, add overrides so the behavior doesn't change. And by "add overrides" I mean something like an /etc/rc.conf.override file that gets pulled in after /etc/defaults/rc.conf but before /etc/rc.conf.
(This says nothing about the necessity or desirability of the change itself, by the way. That's an entirely _different_ argument.) When you change defaults on a running system, you piss off a lot of users. Including me. :-) -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
