Owl control FreeBSD port

Overview

control provides a common interface to register and control system facilities.

This is intended primarily for facilities that can potentially be dangerous to system security, to let you enable, disable, or configure the facility independently from package installation. When run with no arguments, control lists all available facilities, their current status, and their supported settings.

Example output

Differences between original Linux and FreeBSD version

• Replaced find and sed calls with the appropiate GNU tools. The BSD version of find and sed won't work without further investigation.
• Added various control files (at, crontab, newgrp, ping, pw, traceroute, chsh, mount, passwd, postfix, sftp, su, write) and modified to refelect the FreeBSD default permission modes.
• Minor style changes.
