New bsd port to submit:

sbox is a CGI wrapper script that allows Web site hosting services to safely grant CGI authoring privileges to untrusted clients. In addition to changing the process privileges of client scripts to match their owners, it goes beyond other wrappers by placing configurable ceilings on script resource usage, avoiding unintentional (as well as intentional) denial of service attacks. It also optionally allows the Webmaster to place client's CGI scripts in a chroot'ed shell restricted to the author's home directories. Sbox is compatible with all Web servers running under BSD-derived flavors of Unix. This branch is one of the dependancy of the project sysutils/dtc which is currently OLD and BROKEN in current port tree. I'm working on having the new version working, I'd be happy to have some help on it again...

Please see the project page where you will find everything (cvs, ftp to fetch the port, etc...) :
