Aha, thus you install system libraries to /usr/lib etc...

I think this is the point.

1. The main idea is to force search at /usr/local/lib before
/usr/lib.
a) you may set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH at your
system default profile; (but may be some other progs got to be
mulfunctioning);
b) you may write script like:
--- kadmin.sh ---
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
kadmin %1 %2 %3
-----------------
Maybe it's a better solution.

2. Set HEIMDAL_HOME=/usr at /etc/make.conf. So the local_base for the
port is /usr. But then you won't get installed some docs (and maybe
some more files). (Hey, is port broken?)

Yes, this will replace your system files. But there won't be a
mess. ;-) And, yes, you'll have to reinstall the port after system
upgrade.

Hence, all versions are rather more a hack then even a workaround, not
to say a solution.

I don't know any good solution. System files are installed to
/usr. Many programs use those libraries. One need to install a version
from ports. Those libraries are installed to /usr/local. But then
one'll want to use ssh (linked to the system library) to authenticate
somebody via LDAP/Kerberos...


Who can give us a good solution?


PS. CC:freebsd-stable@ seems to be the right thing.
