I found a bug in the /ports/net/naios port. More correctly, I think it would be in /ports/net/nagios-plugins.
I had Postgres 7.2 installed on my system. I did this manually from source. It seems that when you choose to have postgres support for nagios, it doesn't check to see if the library exists, but instead looks to see if the port was installed. This resulted in my install getting clobbered, directory permissions getting reassigned and my database going down.
A lot of ports have this problem. For example, I saw it recently with py-MySQLdb, which attempted to re-install MySQL for me. <ugh>
Fortunately, I've long ago learned an important lesson: If you compile software manually, do NOT install it in /usr/local. Otherwise, the FreeBSD ports/package system will happily blow it away for you.
Of course, if you install it elsewhere, then ports won't find it and will install a new version in /usr/local anyway. At least this way your custom version won't get destroyed.
