I agree with all points tha Prana made. Services should only be
started when they are PROPERLY and SECURELY configured. Let the
user decide when that is, not the OS.
I still especially suggest that an expert install means that we
want the above before *we* are ready to let users use the service.
Experts know hoe to start the services they want, let us do it.
Just because we install a service, does not mean we are immediately
ready to run it. People who have worked in government, universities,
or large corporate companies will understand the politics involved,
and how sometimes decisions move slowly. Yuch!
