I think the reason is that it's not software included in the base distribution, but from the ports collection, and it's installed by the admin himself. I like the way FreeBSD does things, because they stick closer to standards than, for example, sloppy Linux systems. Have a look at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html "The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated." Daniel
