One problem with installing things from packages is you don't get any convenient pointer to how to configure them. For example, if I hadn't already installed amanda on our system, I'd have no idea what to put in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services. Looking through what the package installs there's really not enough to install it. You really have to at least unpack the amanda port to complete installation. (or have a working amanda installation...) I'm thinking... as well as the /etc/rc*.d stuff, we need to look at how to mechanise standard crontab and inetd.conf and services entries. amanda 10080/udp amanda dgram udp wait operator /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad And you have to add "operator" to the operator group in /etc/group. I don't think we want pkg_add doing this either.
