This brings up another question. But first let me explain a little. I tried pkg_info cyrus-imap23 and got the response that no package by that name was installed and could not be found, Well, of course that is probably not the exact name and the exact name is expected. So I just cd'd to the cyrus-imap23 dir in ports and did pkg_info with no parameter and got a long list of stuff, including a lot of X11 and X windows stuff. The question is, if I do not know the exact name of a package, how can I do pkg_info on it. A corollary question is: How do I find out exactly how much configuration a port has applied once a port is installed. Apache with php; with or without ssl, might be a typical example. Thus, there is a lot of configuration steps to get Cyrus up and running with Postfix, ClamAV, Amavis new, Spamassassin, PAM, SASL, mysql and all that. How do I find out how much configuration a port has done in a case like this. I did add Cyrus-imap23 and am wondering if it also installed Cyrus SASl. It did create the cyrus user and mail group; I found that out when I went to create the cyrus user and mail group myself. I do not see a separate port for Cyrus SASL. There is a fine line between benefiting from someone else's very good work, and knowing when it is appropriate to take matters into one's own hands. I am not a control freak, I just like to know how stuff works so I can know when it is not working right, and fix it. This is also not really a complaint or criticism. Just a petition for guidance.
