I'm hosting the script on my web site as a stop-gap measure since in the future they will (obviously) already have it installed. I suppose that I could have put it onto security.freebsd.org instead, but since my web site is hosted on the same server as update1.freebsd.org I didn't really see much point. As for where the documentation goes -- I have no objection to having this turned into official FreeBSD documentation in the doc tree. Given my lack of experience in the doc tree, however, it seemed to me that posting this to my blog was by far the easiest and fastest way to make the information available. Colin Percival
