            Bug ID: 266487
           Summary: net/srelay: should not install srelay.conf.sample as
                    srelay.conf
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: decke@FreeBSD.org

The net/srelay port installs the project's sample configuration file as both
srelay.conf.sample and srelay.conf.

The sample config file contains settings that are not meant for default
installation but rather as a demonstration of the configuration capabilitie=
s.=20
For instance:

# rest of any FQDN (and IPv6) destination should go 192.168.1.5 socks.
*                               any     192.168.1.5     1080%=20=20=20=20=
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

This assumes the existence of a relay proxy at 192.168.1.5.

This is extra confusing because the Web documentation for srelay (at
<https://socks-relay.sourceforge.io/>; and
<https://socks-relay.sourceforge.io/samples.html>) suggest that the default
configuration uses no relay and is equivalent to

0.0.0.0    any

I suggest that the sample config file be installed only to
etc/srelay.conf.sample but not to etc/srelay.conf .
