------- Additional Comments From pertusus at free.fr  2007-03-19 08:00 EST -------
Also webalizer is enabled by default, with the  
/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer
file. I am not convinced that it is right. Nothing
seems to depend on webalizer, but still I think it
is wrong to enable it without admin action. 
For example the admin should have the possibility to change 
the directory webalizer writes to before it is run first.

Having webalizer enabled by default allows to have it
working off-the-box, but in that case I am not sure
that it is right. There is a guideline (may actually be only
through rpmlint) that daemons should not be enabled in the default 
case, I think it is sane, and somehow apply here.

Another possibility would be to have a separate package 
containing the bits that enable having it run in by default.
For example webalizer-cron. That package only would depend
on webserver and crontabs.


Also webserver may not be the right dependency, since the
webserver bits seems to be apache (httpd) specific.
