I'm trying to use my IR blaster with my satellite box, and I've found a good (or what I think is a good) lirc.conf file. What I need at this point is a good socket and all of the FreeBSD specific info. For instance, I don't have a /var/lirc at all. Is the lircd port supposed to create this, or have I missed a step?
