I think I found a misfeature in the ACID port: pkg-comment reads: > Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) with Snort and MySQL This is not 100% true, since ACID can also work with other database systems; according to this statement I had already discarded this program, until I saw on the web someone reporting that he was using it with PostgreSQL. I looked into it and now I'm using it with PGSQL too. Also in Makefile there is: >RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/mod_php4\ > ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/mysqld:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql323-server \ > ${LOCALBASE}/bin/snort:${PORTSDIR}/security/snort \ > ${LOCALBASE}/www/data.default/php/adodb:${PORTSDIR}/databases/adodb The second line above oviously insist in installing MySQL, which in my case (and possibly the case of many other people) is useless (if not harmful due to licensing reasons). I also agree with an already-posted PR that it should have phplot as a dependency. bye & Thanks av.
