Hello!
According to OpenBSD porting policy, it is "OpenBSD policy is to never
update files under /etc automatically. Ports that need some specific
boot setup should advise the administrator about what to do instead of
blindly installing files."
Well, i have noticed that 'privoxy' and 'tor' install their
configuration files into /etc automatically. _Forgive me, if i
misunderstand_, but does not this policy cover 'it does not create
folders under /etc automatically'? Is it just simple 'it does not touch
ANY FILE under /etc though be aware it populates /etc with new folders'?
I was expecting something similar to that: "config files are at ie;
/usr/local/somewhere/etc/privoxy" and we advise you to copy them to
/etc/privoxy, and add these lines to rc.local"...
For example, installing mysql through ports cleanly advises
administrator to add configuraion files.

Cem
