Thanks for the info Tim.
As I said before, I did install from source, but I did not end up with
/usr/local/share/freevsd/skel-repo. Very odd. I may try it again, but
frankly, I was much happier with the pre-built skel. In fact, the source
install with the pre-built skel was perfect for my needs with two
exceptions.
First, although the pre-built skel version of PHP indicates (using
phpinfo())
it was compiled with all of the options I prefer (CURL, sockets, Pspell,
mcrypt
etc), these functions are not available at run time. I am currently
investigating
whether this is caused by run time configurations or some other problem.
Second, I would prefer to use additional modules with apache (e.g.
mod_bandwidth).
I wonder if it would be possible to manually make the changes to the skel
itself?

Subject: RE: skel-repo question
If you installed from source you should expect to find skel-repo at
/usr/local/share/freevsd/skel-repo. skel-repo is merged into your skel
during the final stages of skel geenration and contains configuration files
with modifications for VSD, (ie rc.local and rc.vsd instead of the rc.d used
on the hosting server)
As it stands vsd-vsbatch.pl does not include files from beneath /usr/local
because such files would then appear beneath /usr/local in the virtual
servers and this is not desirable - /usr/local/ within virtual servers
should only contain files unique to the virtual server, not files which are
common between all virtual servers - otherwise you will be backing up files
unnecessarily. Anything you have on the hosting server which installs itself
beneath /usr/local can be coaxed to install beneath the /usr directory and
this is the recommended way to solve the problem. Otherwise, you can always
tweak the vsd-genskel.pl code...
