>Description:
Install sysutils/cbsd and you will be prompted to run an "initenv" program to complete initialization. Among other things, this program creates it's own user and group, modifies /etc/rc.conf, and adds jobs to root's crontab! Breaks every port style guide in the book ...
>How-To-Repeat:
install sysutils/cbsd and then run "initenv" ... i dare you ...
>Fix:
de-install sysutils/cbsd, remove user cbsd, remove group cbsd, fix /etc/rc.conf, fix root crontab ... drink a beer to calm the nerves ...
