Description sec 2002-10-19 02:10:00 UTC
When updating the XFree ports familiy, It always ruins my Xterminal-config.

I need to modify the 'Xservers' file not to start a local X, 
and to modify the Xaccess file to allow remote connects.

These are config files! This port should treat them as such, and not
overwrite them blindly.

This is even more annoying with the frequent minor updates of the X ports

Fix: 

perhaps deal with it like the apache port does? Install these files as 
<name>.dist, and copy them to <name> only if they don't already exist?

And moreover don't remove them if they are modified.
