   FWIW sysinst doesn't do a load of config stuff that really ought to be done.
   It doesn't even ask for a hostname!

uh, it sure does.  see net.c:MSG_net_host... it also writes it to
the rc.conf file if it didn't get it from dhcp.
   
   Never mind sorting out the 'owner' user - to send all these security
   report mails to.  After all we recommend that you never log in as root,
   so sending mail to root is not dissimilar to sending it to /dev/null.

heh.  we recommend not logging in directly as root - not to never
become root ;-)
