Comment 2 for bug 109434

I can think of a few notes:

1) No server should automatically start for a game. They are _not_ necessary for standard game playing, and can be launched from within the entertainment software. Often the server software is installed for a more temporary basis than say, something akin to Apache, and therefore should be treated accordingly.
2) Absolutely, under no circumstance, should a game schedule an open port server policy with _zero_ level of feedback notification.

I find this technique to be fundamentally flawed and insecure. We _should_ develop a game policy for server startup / shutdown.

It is also worth mentioning that an average gamer might not be familiar with the rc.* level startup / shutdown sequence format. Perhaps providing the scripts but leaving them _off_ would be wise?
