Your environment is a typical case where you best move out the entire /usr/local/etc e.g. under /etc/local, and put a symlink for it there. However, ports&packages policy is to _not_ touch parts of the base system, so /etc/<something> is tabu for them. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
