Sorry that I missed that thread, our ISP has f*cked up our connection.
The reason I did this was to support services like mail and nss_ldap. I really like to be
prefix safe, PR conf/56736 relates to this:
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/56736>;
I agree that there should be a better solution, and already asked Mike Makonnen
<mtm@identd.net> about it, but nobody seemed to care.
IMHO not participating in rcorder(8) makes the packing list pettier and avoids an ugly hack,
which is good, but restrains functionality. I like the idea of account managed in an
centralized LDAP directory very much.
So, do you still think the scripts should not participate in rcorder(8)? It's easy to
change the ports, but this is probably not the right fix.
