Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-13 05:19:05 UTC 
Ports are not allowed to touch base system[1]. In order for a port to install an executable map or a directory service autofs userland tools need to read under /usr/local/etc/autofs as well. Also, while /usr/local is the default value of LOCALBASE it may be different on some sites.
