I just had to reinstall certs for my server.  which means copying 
certs to several places (in a default config)
sendmail and syrus ad openssl (base) all look in different places. you 
COULD make them all look in the same place
but that requires undersanding what is going on and not just cribbing 
the config file off the net somewhere.

I think ports and pkg are fine, but we need to have some more thought 
put into how they all go together.
