Awesome, thanks for this! So it sounds like no real issues, then. But all the same, I should add syslogd_flags="-ss" as soon as possible on a new install. Als

Awesome, thanks for this! So it sounds like no real issues, then. But all the same, I should add syslogd_flags="-ss" as soon as possible on a new install. Also worth noting, Vultr 'helpfully' adds "PermitRootLogin yes" at the very bottom of sshd_config on their new installs of FreeBSD. Ostensibly so you can log in without their VNC-in-a-web-browser client, and just use SSH for the initial setup. Which I quite like a lot. They give a really strong password that looks to be around 64^16 in terms of entropy, so that's probably fine. I always turn off root login and password login as soon as I add my authorized_keys to a user account anyway.
