From

    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/sysutils/aaccli

    Sources for ports/sysutils/aaccli
    Sorry, did not find the sources for ports/sysutils/aaccli

No source!

Let's look closer

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/aaccli/Makefile

    MASTER_SITES=		http://download.adaptec.com/raid/ccu/freebsd/
    DISTNAME=		5400s_fbsd_cli_v10
    EXTRACT_SUFX=		.zip

    ...

    RESTRICTED=		"May not be redistributed in binary form"
    NO_CDROM=		yes

So there is a file somewhere that is a .zip file.  It may not be put
onto the official FreeBSD CDs (so obviously not OpenBSD CDs either)

That's not really free is it.

Let's look closer

That's a binary.  Where is the source?


Why do you keep talking about some Management binary?
