Installing mod_frontpage to apache2

[Bill Moran]

I posted this to questions at freebsd.org yesterday and have yet to see a
response.  My web searching seems to indicate a lot of maintainer timeouts,
so I'm copying ports@ - I hope that isn't a problem.

...

A google search doesn't reveal any recent posts about this.  Ports updated 
just an hour or so ago.  Freshports seems to indicate that all should be
well, yet I get this:

<begin make output>
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage && make install

*****************************************************
IMPORTANT

This port still has some security issues. Some buffer
overflows have been fixed, but since the port depends
on ENV[] variables, a local user can still gain a UID
of another user. This is a design issue, and also
present in the apache13-fp port.

Check carefully that the Makefile has FP_UID_MIN and
FP_GID_MIN set correctly. If you think security is
very important for you, you shouldnt run frontpage
at all.

It looks like the port finds the correct directory, but then can't find
the httpd.conf file there?

Thoughts anyone?
