I use /usr/local/ most places as well. For historical reasons, the Merit AAA Server uses /usr/private/etc by default. Most, if not all, of our file name references are guarded and hence overridable. > A patch might also fix compile warnings or errors, but that depends > on the software. I try hard to ensure that each release compiles cleanly without warnings or errors on all of the platforms we do support (I also do a special FreeBSD build even though we do not -- yet -- officially support the FreeBSD platform -- remember, I told you that I like FreeBSD -- a lot!)
