This is a potential security issue. Classes Network Management Workstation and IPX/Netware(tm) Connectivity include the class Network Server. This is a very much misnomer for people that specifically choose not to install _any_ 'Server' classes during the selection. That, in turn, installs the following (plus Classes in Network Workstation): --- openssh-server sysstat xinetd talk-server telnet-server rusers-server rwall-server finger-server rsh-server tftp-server ypserv --- [ some of these are disabled by default, though -- but nowhere near all ] These, apart from openssh-server IMO, should _not_ be installed if either class is selected. Most of these are just plain unnecessary and contain potential security issues. I'd recommend changing the two classes so that they include Networked Workstation directly, and perhaps OpenSSH too if you feel like it, but definitely not all of Network Server. I'd also change '* Server' classes so that they don't install stuff like talk-server and rusers-server for all of those by default. Seriously, The 0.1% who use services like these can install them automatically. :-)
s/automatically/manually/ at the end of the message.
I strongly second that.
Thank you for the suggestions - I think you have brought up some good points.
Fixed
Fixed how? Removed Network Server dependency from Workstation classes, probably? But was there a change wrt. installing 99.9% unnecessary stuff like talk-server on server configuration?
IPX/Network Services was included Network Servers, which was done. We're still debating how to fix the other bug (which is still open)
Verified as resolved.
