Clean up patches. Make this look like an OpenBSD port (no compressed manpage, no use of /usr/local/etc). Don't try at an INSTALL script yet, as the steps needed are numerous.

After installing this package, you must create
${SYSCONFDIR}/cept.init ${SYSCONFDIR}/cept.users files.
Samples exist in ${PREFIX}/share/cept.
You must also add
xcept 20005/tcp #XCEPT
new user/group naming schema bumped PKGNAME except for xcept
2003-06-22 06:05:28 -04:00
to /etc/services, add an '_xcept' user in your system with uid 522
This ridiculous port installs the daemon 'ceptd' as setuid root and advises to be run as root via inetd, while it really only needs access to the modem It also needs INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to handle the configuration files, etc. Try to bring it to a usable state, and advise the user to run it as follows: xcept stream tcp nowait xcept ${PREFIX}/libexec/ceptd ceptd After creating a 'xcept' user belonging in group 'dialer'. And, no longer install this setuid root, which is really not needed. XXX The user creation and the configuration files installation should be automatic, but this will have to do for now and help the users.
