I saw a discussion of this recently on the OpenBSD mailing lists. Theo 
basically shot down the people who advocated turning off nearly all 
services under OpenBSD as the default install.

And he carried this across to other systems as well. If the security 
holes weren't there in the first place, you wouldn't have to shut them 
down now would you?

And after all, Theo knows all.
