>Description:
The nylon (net/nylon) port installs a sample configuration file, which is pretty common. What isn't common however is that it installs it as the actual configuration file, overwriting any existing configuration.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install nylon, change the configuration (such as to allow other hosts to use it), re-install nylon (portupgrade -f nylon). Restart nylon and watch it break.
>Fix:
Rename net/nylon/files/nylon.conf to nylon.conf.sample and update Makefile accordingly. Or apply the following patch to the Makefile to install nylon.conf as nylon.conf.sample:
*** Makefile.old Thu Jul 7 06:16:37 2005
--- Makefile Thu Jul 7 06:17:39 2005
