Because we haven't found the right way yet and I would rather have it in tree with some manual actions and improve it later if necessary. > Anyway, if a user should do something manually, then guarantee > pkg tools won't scream bullshit about some file unable to delete. > >> It could be as simple as: >> >> To setup a policy hub perform the following steps: >> 1.

I thought it would be more clear if you install a policy hub you do these steps and if you install a client you will perform the steps below. >> To setup a client perform the following steps: >> 1.

Maybe the instructions should be changes to "To setup a policy hub or standalone perform the following steps:" > Please let it be commited, only if it would be in the ports tree > more people using OpenBSD could help and test. Second to that. Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer
