Hello misc, 1) For an internet exposed server, would it be ok to not install any i) compiler collection ii) games iii) X related file sets? Set name(s) = -comp* -game* -x*
2) Would ssh login be affected by lack of X related file sets on the server? In other words, is ssh one of the "programs that manipulate text or graphics" in the following paragraph? >From https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#FilesNeeded, " <list of file sets> New users are recommended to install all of them. Some libraries from xbaseXX.tgz, like freetype or fontconfig, can be used outside of X by programs that manipulate text or graphics. Such programs will usually need fonts, either from xfontXX.tgz or font packages. For the sake of simplicity, the developers decided against maintaining a minimal xbaseXX.tgz set that would allow most non-X ports to run. The xservXX.tgz set is rarely needed if you don't intend to run X. " The motivation for these questions is the recent X hole. Thanks.
