The permissions it applies (and the assumption that you *want* a /usr/local, though that's doesn't affect me). I always used to get bitten after an upgrade by things failing after the permissions on my /usr/local reverted if I forgot to maintain my patch. I don't suffer at the moment because my /usr/local is currently a symlink. The last disaster I had with /usr/local was when I forgot that I had to unpack and install the cvsup binary package instead of using pkg_add (boy, what a mess that made). I routinely disable BSD.local.dist, of course. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Valentine, Thuvia Labs "Tigers will do ANYTHING for a tuna fish sandwich."
