To my knowledge, the default install does not install either BIND or SENDMAIL
anymore. You have to select those options during the CUSTOM install
process. Unless
you are using the QUICK INSTALL method. Of course, the QUICK INSTALL is
geared to get you started with the basics, so if you don't want them, then
start
doing custom installs.

Hi there
I've seen that BIND and sendmail (till 4.7-RELEASE havent tested 5.0 yet)
are installed by default my question is simple... WHY?
I see this from a end user point of view (mine):
Do I need a name server or DNS "chaching" server???
- Nop, my ISP provides me that
Do I need a my own mailserver???
- No, we have yahoo.com :-)
Now I from the sys admin point of view (mine):
Do I need a DNS server???
YES, but I usually grab the lastest version, and the default install does
not suit to our needs...
Do I need mail server?
YES, but I dont use sendmail, or I dont like the default install, it doesnt
suit to our needs etc...
Yes, I know you can "remove" sendmail and bind adding a couple of line to
the make.conf file but still doenst answer my questions
Thanks

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
