I need to modify the 'Xservers' file not to start a local X, and to modify the Xaccess file to allow remote connects. These are config files! This port should treat them as such, and not overwrite them blindly. This is even more annoying with the frequent minor updates of the X ports >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: perhaps deal with it like the apache port does? Install these files as <name>.dist, and copy them to <name> only if they don't already exist? And moreover don't remove them if they are modified. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
