No Tim, I wont let you speak for me. How about you rewrite ntpd into ntpw and run your clock on port 80, all because the Network Time Protocol isn't pretty enough for you? Hey, then have a go at bgpd & submit your web version to the devs to run it on port 80 too? Awesome dude! Kawabunga! Why stop there (since you're on a roll), and convert dhcpd to run on port 80 as dhcpw. Never mind that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol works well. Hey, convince Gilles & crew to rewrite OpenSMTPd to run on port 80 as well & full webalise the whole mail thing!!! Ace! This is going to rock! Next up, talk Theo & Co, into dumping sshd and developing sshw;- a new non-privilege separated cluster fuck pile of web chroot busting Python, JSON, NoSQL, NodeJS piece of server admin crap! Yay!!!! Do you think he'll send you flowers & kisses for your "wonderful" idea? Why ram every fucking thing down port 80's throat and give your server syphilis via every XSS & SQL injection attack & other web transmitted diseases? Ask the devs to delete the 65,000 ports and have OpenBSD have only port 80! Why worship web? Why? IMAP = Imternet Mail Access Protocol - an actual protocol that has been designed and dedicated to the task of accessing mail across the Internet SMTP = Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - to simply transfer mail! With secure daemons skillfully written in C. Get with it man! Cool, -- Craig Skinner | http://linkd.in/yGqkv7
