Dear FreeBSD port maintainer:

As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the
FreeBSD ports system, we are attempting to notify maintainers of
ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles.  Often,
these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known
exploits.

An overview of the port, including errors seen on the build farm, is
included below.

portname:           graphics/zgv
forbidden because: 
                    http://vuxml.freebsd.org/a813a219-d2d4-11da-a672-000e0c2e438a.html
build errors:       none.
overview:           http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=zgv


portname:           misc/compat3x

                    fixed / no lib available

portname:           www/linux-beonex
forbidden because:  Security issues. From http://www.beonex.com/ 'The
                    currently available Beonex Communicator 0.8 builds
                    have several known security bugs'
build errors:       none.

If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept
our apologies and ignore this message.  On the other hand, if you no
longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a
message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the
past.

Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
