There is always a reasonable default. Such as sendmail, the reasonable default is to simply default to "local access only" and not listen remotely; period. Yet, many GNU/Linux distributions over the years insisted on asking me at least three different questions about how sendmail should be configured. To me, reasonable default is do nothing, if doing something could be worse :-) > What I think the world needs is a soup-to-nuts software management > subsystem.
