Re: Why does time/ident/daytime/comsat run after an OpenBSD 5.2 install?
frantisek holop's answer is the most logical yet: - hi, i seem to recall reading in some RFC or maybe in one of the stevens books that these services are required for a server. i look at it as being a good internet neighbour, a bit like can you tell me the time please when someone stops you on the street... - p.s.: I created a bounty for this question on the stackexchange site. p.s.2: @Jeremie Courreges-Anglas: are you ok bro'? didn't got your pills? 2013/1/6 Lars Hansson romaby...@gmail.com: ntpd and sshd are only running if you enabled them when installing. For the rest, just turn off inetd. Why are they enabled by default? Search the mailing lists, it has been asked and answered before. Lars
Re: Why does time/ident/daytime/comsat run after an OpenBSD 5.2 install?
As Lars Hansson said, ntpd and sshd are only running if you enabled them when installing. For the rest, just turn off inetd. Like the man said. If you see no use for inetd, don't run it. Why are they enabled by default? Search the mailing lists, it has been asked and answered before. Did you search the mailing lists? In almost all cases, 'search the mailing lists' is a friendly attempt to provide a pointer to good information. -- Peter N. M.

Broadcasting line noise? wrt to your question: the fact that you have no use for these services doesn't mean they aren't useful to developers and other users.
