>Description:
sysutils/bsdstats periodic script uses /usr/bin/nc which is not a part of base system on FreeBSD 4x and is installed from a port to /usr/local/bin/nc
So on FreeBSD 4x the port sysutils/bsdstats should depend on net/netcat
>How-To-Repeat:
Install sysutils/bsdstats on FreeBSD 4x and run /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics - you'll se an error:
--- cut ---
/usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics: /usr/bin/nc: not found
--- cut ---
