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 ?
