I don't see any reason to define a program as bad simply because it is hard to configure. I think that sendmail is a good program which is also sometimes hard to configure. I don't think that sendmail or BSD needs to be easy to use to be declared a success. I think BSD is an unqualified success, and whether or not someone decides to put some sort of "user friendly" interface on it won't change that. Larry
