Re: RH Taroon Beta Open Ports

[Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh redhat com>]

I also think minimal ports should be the default.  Maybe adding some 
inteligence to the scripts or redhat-config-services to allow know that 
if you start NFS you also need to start portmapper.  Maybe
by adding a requires flag to the NFS init script.  

Why do we have a bias towards the machine being a server machine?
If we argue that we should start portmapper because alot of Unix 
machines use it to intercommunicate,
the same argument could be used for other protocols like FTP, Telnet, 
samba ...

A machine should be running minimal services to start and then make it 
easy for the user to start up services.
Interaction between tools like redhat-config-services and the firewall 
would be nice.
