You cant really do a server profile so far nested within the |

default-linux profiles. The flags will be just wrong. |

Also a server is not something you should be switching profiles every 6 |

If you are serious about a server profile I'd suggest dropping what you |

are thinking now. Lets have a meeting (hardened + server + infra + |
8 |
releng ) folks and do it right together. |
