You probably don't want to do this in the pkg-plist, instead you would
normally do this in pkg-install:
pkg-install
#!/bin/sh
PKG_BATCH=${BATCH:=NO}
PKG_PREFIX=${PKG_PREFIX:=/usr/local}
case $2 in
POST-INSTALL)
if [ "${PKG_BATCH}" = "NO" ]; then
# Do something to add an
entry to /etc/nsswitch.conf
else
# Display a message
echo "*** We do not modify
/etc/nsswitch.conf automatically in"
echo "*** BATCH mode. Please
modify it yourself."
fi
;;
POST-DEINSTALL)
# Do something to remove the
entry that was added to /etc/nsswitch.conf
;;
esac
It might be better to add a pkg-message to the port that shows how to
modify /etc/nsswitch.conf, instead of having the port modify it.
