So first of all, welcome to the FreeBSD world. :) By default our ports system does not install things in /opt, our default installation path for 3rd party software is /usr/local. So in regards to your question, most ports do actually come with sample configuration files, which can usually be found in /usr/local/etc/. If you install a port or package and you aren't sure where it installed the files you can do (for exapmle) 'pkg_info -L torrentflux*' and it will print the list for you. There is no question that there is a learning curve when moving from one platform to another, but a lot of us have administered both FreeBSD and Linux systems so if you have questions, just ask. hope this helps, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
