One might well ask why a default redhat install doesn't have a dozen services running and when did that become the standard?

- noAnswer 4y agoIt became the standard _because_ of OpenBSD! They mocked others for decades. People forget that! I remember SuSE 6 from me youth. It run of the box (having selected a Desktop-Setup) SSH, Telnet, Apache, FTP, Finger, Samba, CUPS and probably other daemons I forgot! You dail-in to the internet and bam: everthing/most was accessible via a public IP. I used to "pwn" boxes with exploits from packetstorm myself. (Ironically OpenBSD was late to the "easy update"-party. You used to need to patch and compile updates yourself.)
