The only way to tweak these is to edit the rc script; however, the port installs it as $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/healthd.sh - on upgrading, any previously installed and potentially edited script is overwritten, which can cause anything from the wrong config file to be loaded, to the daemon restarting on an unexpected network interface. >How-To-Repeat: Install the port, edit healthd.sh to set, for example, only bind to lo (-l); reinstall the port, note the changes are overwritten, so the daemon restarts bound to all interfaces. >Fix: Install healthd.sh.sample. Let the user merge if needed. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
