seems that all the OP is saying is that he expected to find, in the manpages for pkg_*, reference to using /etc as the place for config files from installed packages. > > I just asked because this behaviour is not documented on the man > > pages and it is certainly different to the way pkg_* works on > > NetBSD (where there is a different /etc for the packages). > > Assuming OpenBSD works just like NetBSD will make things hard for > you. Read the FAQ and man pages, and trust pkg_info(1). pkg_info(1) doesn't have anything to say about the /etc thing. however, bsd.port.mk(5), which is .Xr'd out of pkg_info does have an explanation for 'SYSCONFDIR' for the first hit for '/etc', ( also could find it with searching for '/usr/local/etc' ) and then again packages(7) as already mentioned. -- jared
