- Thus BAD - requires the user to install parts of GNOME!
- We can easily write our own for Phase 2 - Dave

Security
- User Security
- Debconf
- dpkg-reconfigure adduser -f gnome
- Configure Passwords
- Debconf
- dpkg-reconfigure passwd -f gnome
Network Services
- Try and find GUI control panels, or Debconf front ends, for each of these:
- SAMBA (samba...)
- NFS (ypclient)
- NIS (nisd?)
- LDAP (openldap)
- SSH (ssh) (dpkg-reconfigure ssh is important)

- HTTP (apache1,apache2,etc)
- DNS Server (bind9, dnsmasq)
- DHCP (dhcpd, dnsmasq)
- KERBEROS (client,server?)
- MTA/MAIL (exim, etc)
- "Exim. The only reasonable alternative MTA is postfix if you care about security. sendmail and qmail are available as Debian packages but are not recommended."
- For exim, "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config -f gnome"
- How to configure postfix?
- I recommend a "What mail server do you wish to run? Postfix (here is why). Exim (here is why). For each then offer the debconf.
