Dear FreeBSD port maintainer:

As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the
FreeBSD ports system, we are attempting to notify maintainers of
ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles.  Often,
these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known
exploits.

An overview of the port, including errors seen on the build farm, is
included below.

portname:           graphics/xpcd
forbidden because:  is an abandoned project and might be vulnerable
build errors:
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.2007070212/xpcd-2.09_1.log (Jun 24 04:44:02 UTC 2007)
overview:           http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=xpcd


portname:           misc/compat3x
forbidden because:  FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath  - not
                    fixed / no lib available
build errors:       none.
overview:           http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=compat3x


portname:           sysutils/eject
forbidden because:  Setuid root and has security issues
build errors:       none.
overview:           http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=sysutils&portname=eject


If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept
our apologies and ignore this message.  On the other hand, if you no
longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a
message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the
past.

Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
