The FreeBSD port has always been broken...
... and they have never informed me of *anything*.
I could imagine problems in some of the programs (there shouldn't, but
then, with all the sample scripts, there are *so* many that it's hard to
say without going through all of them).
Faxspool has one minor thing (if called with "faxspool -" - read from
stdin - it will create a file in /tmp unsafely, but then, just don't do
this, then).
The sample configuration ships with
mgetty.cfg.in:# statistics-file /tmp/statistics.2864
- that would be unsafe, but it's disabled anyway per default.
Well... I will change faxspool, and change the default config sample.
But it still would have been nice to get a notification from the FreeBSD
folks. *sigh*
