>Description:

	a) Netsaint port doesn't work, and floods console with messages,
	   since the plugin binaries are not found. This is, because a
	   RUN_DEPENDENCY to netsaint-plugins port are missing.
	b) Like in other ports (apache, squid) config files should be
	   installed with the suffix .default and only installed under
	   their final names, if the files don't exist (don't overwrite
	   already present files, not to loose local configuration).
	   pkg-plist should be changed, so that local config files won't
	   be removed
	c) What about placing the data directory somewhee under /var ... ?

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd netsaint
	make install
	cd $PREFIX/etc/rc.d
	/bin/sh $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/netsaint.sh start
	[ then watch the flooding messages, because plugins are not found ]

>Fix:

	No time for fix, sorry.
