Because those variable control where the port installs files, it's possible for it to clobber the system files. If you then uninstall the files, they'll be removed. That's one possibility I can see for how your system files might've been removed. A good default is to simply not set a HEIMDAL_HOME (or any other _HOME variable for that matter) in /etc/make.conf unless you have a specific reason to change it and understand the implications of that change. Ports generally do "the right thing" if left to their defaults. Restoring your files can be done from a backup or from something like a "make installworld"[1]. Rebuilding the port after cleaning up /etc/make.conf can install the Heimdal port files in the "normal" location. Note that Heimdal is more-or-less integrated into FreeBSD already -- the port isn't necessary (though it does provide some shiny bits over the integrated version). See the Handbook chapter for details.[2] -T 1. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html 2. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kerberos5.html -- Page xxviii: More than any other computer system today, Unix will repay every moment that you spend learning and experimenting. - Harley Hahn, _The Unix Companion_
