I admit I've never paid much attention to the additional hooks in the pkg
files. There must be a few I'm not up-to-date on, since I've never heard
of pkg/REQ before.
As for the user, I suppose nothing will break if the user isn't defined
correctly; The startup script has doesn't even start diablo until you
manually uncomment it (if I let it, anyone who installed the package would
try to hose the author's new hub) 8-)
I'll take a look at it and Rwhois on a current system asap.
