What I don't understand is why the hell the default distribution comes
with all this stuff enabled (or installed at all). I can assure you that
anyone who is going to be able to figure out how to properly use inn (even
for a small home setup) is going to be quite capable of installing it
and/or enabling it themselves. Adding more services adds more security
holes. It's even worse when the service is probably unneeded on 99% of the
systems it's installed on...
