And then a script to help you set up carp. And then one that helps you configure Sendmail. And then one that helps you configure PPP. And then one ... I don't understand why a community of BSD administrators has such a hard time with just leaving things simple and configuring them the way sysadmins do. This is the same kind of reasoning as to why a package installation won't autoconfigure /etc files and start services for you. Yet we manage. I *hate* the Linux distributions that are obviously built around the assumption that the userbase is a bunch of lower IQ idiots that need a helper script get help them get their system up and running. I see no reason for everyone to drive to slowly push openbsd further and further in that direction as well. DS
