I've heard people complain about the security-unconcious daemons that
ship with NeXTSTEP 2.1, but are they improved in 3.0 to the point
where people won't have to try and compile someone else's daemons
sources?

And while I'm asking this, does 3.0 come with the changes that they
say are 'secure' versus 2.1 insecure features (the things I'm speaking
of are listed in the SysAdmin manual)?  Why, if these things are
known, would NeXT choose to ship insecure machines?

Thanks for your input.
