The part I don't get are the file paths involved, as they're very non-FreeBSD'ish. /usr/local/var?? Do I need to alter environment variables to put things into their proper places, or create the directories that it expects? I would expect config files for a port to be in /usr/local/etc/krb5 or some such. BTW, working with the MIT version now, since installing the port and all. Also got the pam_krb5 port in there as well. I think I'm about ready to really muck this thing up once I understand what all I need to do about file paths.
