I think it's better to install *.conf files as *.conf.sample, so they aren't picked up by the program upon startup, and may safely be removed/ updated across upgrades. Then, you may put something in the pkg-message letting the user know that a sample file has been installed; most of the time, though, this is not even necessary (except for especially clueless users ;) G'luck, Peter -- If I had finished this sentence, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
