I agree with ru@'s idea to trim down files in /etc (and/or remove them as in hosts.allow) and put examples in /usr/share/examples/etc. There's already a precedent for that (I know I've looked at files in /usr/share/examples/etc before). /etc/printcap and /etc/hosts.allow would definitely be on my list. /etc/defaults would just be wrong for examples, that directory is for default settings (note that /etc/defaults/rc.conf is not just comments, but sets default values for various settings.. same with /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, etc.) -- John Baldwin
