Actually it just occurred to me, I don't think the server should start on install. It would start a non-configured service on a potentially live system, potentially with all modules loaded. > On the other hand, the idea of the default config is to have a running > server as easily as possible, so I might indeed have to comment out those > modules (ldap, krb5) which are split out but referenced by default...

If you want to be able to have a running system as easily as possible, does that imply the installation script should attempt to start the service? I think it should just configure it to be able to run, and then allow the user to start it when they are ready to. > Funnily enough, these are the first two changes after 0.71's release, > which was the last version in Debian and what I presume you used to be > running. Yes I am running a source install from around the 0.71 time frame. There haven't been any changes that effect me, so I didn't see a good reason to upgrade. Now I am setting up a new server, I figured it would be a great time to get the latest version running. Thanks!
