Cool. Again, as long as I can:
pkg install sendmail
I'm funkengrooven.
pkg install sendmail
Port for mail/sendmail has been around for almost 20 years now. I don't mind if sendmail is removed from the base, for the same reasons Perl and later BIND got removed.
FreeBSD 13.0 aka -CURRENT is a development version. Any part of it can break at any given time.FreeBSD v.13.0 does not even seems to support Legacy or at least my notebook.

Yes it is. You're forgetting that not everyone can use su, only those in the wheel group can, see also /etc/pam.d/su. Ergo: remove them from the wheel group and they will no longer be able to elevate their credentials.I'm sure you know this, but as a reminder to others: the key difference is that su requires knowing the password for the user you want to switch to (e.g. root password), while sudo relies instead on a config file for deciding whether you are allowed to log in as someone, requiring only retyping your own password to use it. It's not difficult to see which approach makes it more annoying to revoke root access or invalidate passwords in a multi-user system.
that wheel is really a good thing.Yes it is. You're forgetting that not everyone can use su, only those in the wheel group can, see also /etc/pam.d/su. Ergo: remove them from the wheel group and they will no longer be able to elevate their credentials.
And even though the default is to use root any account with UID 0 can do.
Ergo: this doesn't have to be annoying at all, if you know how to set this up properly.

Look into /etc/passwd, in specific check out root and toor. 2 accounts, 2 passwords, 2 environments yet one important similarity: both have the same privileges. It's easy to expand on that same principle.That sounds interesting… Can you elaborate? Aren't those essentially the same user?

And you're right, meh, I need more coffee. Getting my facts mixed up there.They have the same privileges because it is only one account, not two.
Only the default. You can change it to have the same requirements as on FreeBSD by editing /etc/pam.d/su (at least that's the case on RHEL).I cannot imagine that on Linux systems, everyone can get root access.
PAM is slow on linux.To be even more precise: There is no "default" on Linux because user authentication isn't handled by the kernel Linux systems use a PAM implementation for that, and PAM allows different configurations -- so the "default" not to require a group membership on Linux systems is a default of the many distributions out there, and I'd assume you would find one with a different default as well
I've never seen someone post such an amount of random nonsense... well, we're already in off-topic here, but still, throwing in such a (btw totally unrelated) claim, you normally provide some evidence, quotation sources, etc.PAM is slow on linux.
Encrypted swap already is: 17.13. Encrypting Swap. It has been possible since FreeBSD 5.0 I believe.Instead of removing old stuff (which is kept around for compat reasons), why not add "old" features into base? (e.g. w^x, encrypted swap ecc.)

DNS resolving or a lack thereof is almost always the cause of that."login:" takes quite long on Linux.
So instead of actually trying to analyze the issue you just blame random stuff you don't understand?No idea where it comes from.
Thank you. On Unix, login is surely faster.DNS resolving or a lack thereof is almost always the cause of that.

Currently there is dma(8) (DragonFly Mail Agent) in Base too (I use that), and sendmail(1) is supposed to leave (sooner than later, I guess).
Coworker has that as a ringtone. But OK, O::; de:::!! It is. I wish we had someone like that over here.This proposals come from people that do not have a feeling for Unix culture, but only want a cool operating system.
Crivens, not "Orrrrderrr!!", but O::: de:::!!
The "software distribution" in the name is only there because BSD started as distributing some software (sources) to improve AT&T Unix. It was practically a complete OS before FreeBSD was even born, and that's what FreeBSD still is today. Of course, through the ports tree, FreeBSD is also a "software distribution", but this discussion here is more about the OS, the base system.And I like that FreeBSDBSD is a "Software Distribution" containing a lot of usable old programs. The ones as packages, the
other as the ones expected from a Unix and BSD system, because they were always there.
