I had to get the Ascend-modified radius daemon to work under FreeBSD today, and it struck me that the changes I needed to make were close enough to the procedure of making a port that I should follow them. I got it all going (well, almost; I need the maintainer of the gdbm to make a minor change to that port), and cleaned up the port dir so that it installs all directories, man pages, etc, etc. The question is, does a port of a program like this (which has an admittedly small target audience) belong in the ports collection. Certainly it would benefit anyone using an Ascend terminal server, and since we're all trying to push FreeBSD to ISPs, I feel it could be very helpful. Opinions ? -- j. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | James FitzGibbon james@ican.net | | Internet Canada Corp.
