If all else fails you can always resort to the method above if your confidence is not very high on this method. And you can always second guess a port and then reinstall it when or if it gives you problems. ( /usr/bin/script /root/libchk_output /usr/local/sbin/libchk ) This process could actually take much more time and intervention than what is actually needed on some minimal systems so I will let you be the judge for your self on whether this may be right for you.
