This is normal. The idea is NOT to copy the /etc/defaults files to
/etc. The idea is to place specific changes from defaults into a file
in /etc. 

The /etc/defaults files contain the normal defaults for a great many
things and should not be modified. That way, should OS changes require
it, defaults can be changed easily (POLA).

Rules for files in /etc/defaults:
1. Don't ever modify these files!
2. Don't ever copy them into /etc
3. Should defaults need to be changed, create or edit the /etc file of
   the same name to contain just the items requiring non-default
   behavior.

If you do this, the odds of things failing after a system software
upgrade are substantially reduced.

just to confirm: i did

cp /etc/defaults/make.conf /etc/make.conf

a while back.  i can't remember why, but i think there is no file there
by default and i needed one for some reason.

thank you (and everybody else) for your help.

Uhh, secure-supfile is gone over almost a year ago.

Remove the SUPFILE1= line from your /etc/make.conf.

I will fix src/etc/defaults/make.conf.

Does this file exist?
It's a bit odd that it reads it twice.
cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/supfile will work.
