Make sure you have the newest version of the port (for setiathome-1.1).
Pre-1.1 version don't work anymore. Unfortunatly, the release of 1.1 came
too late for the 3.2 CDs. Even more unfortunate is the fact that all
versions (including 1.1) try to send mail by invoking /usr/lib/sendmail...
I guess I'll be changing the port quite rapidly for the next few days as
next version comes out, which is supposed to fix the sendmail as well as
the proxy problem.

Would you suggest a different default nice level, then, and what should it
be?
One can easily modifiy ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh to run it with
-nice 100, and I'm open to making a level other that 1 the default.
