One problem with installing things from packages is you don't get any
convenient pointer to how to configure them. For example, if I hadn't
already installed amanda on our system, I'd have no idea what to put
in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services. Looking through what the package
installs there's really not enough to install it.

You really have to at least unpack the amanda port to complete installation.
(or have a working amanda installation...)

I'm thinking... as well as the /etc/rc*.d stuff, we need to look at how to
mechanise standard crontab and inetd.conf and services entries.

amanda	10080/udp

amanda dgram udp wait operator /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad

And you have to add "operator" to the operator group in /etc/group. I don't
think we want pkg_add doing this either.
