>Description:
Doing the make install in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nsca and the file, nsca.cfg-sample, is installed to /usr/local/etc directory.  I copied it over to nsca.cfg in /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg and edited it properly.  Looked in the rc.d startup script for proper line to add to rc.conf.  Noticed the path is pointed to /usr/local/etc/nagios/nsca.cfg.

I think that the sample file should be installed into /usr/local/etc/nagios.

There could be a valid reason not to do that if nagios directory does not exist due to no install of nagios.

It took me about 10 mins to find the nsca.cfg-sample after I did make install clean.  I did not have access to my large buffer to notice the results of make install clean to know exactly where it was installed.

Instead I created the nsca.cfg from scratch and stumbled onto this nsca.cfg-sample by accident while looking in /usr/local/etc/ directory.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nsca
make install
ls /usr/local/etc/ | grep nsca
