>Description:
	the pkgsrc inn installation installs dozens of admin files in
        /usr/pkg/bin.  This causes quite  a bit of usr-bin namespace polution
	and tempts users to execute programs that they really shouldn't be
        touching.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/news/inn ; make ; make install
	ls -t /usr/pkg/bin

	This is the list of programs installed:

	inndf sendxbatches actmerge actsyncd actsync crosspost
	shrinkfile shlock overchan nntpget innxbatch innxmit filechan
	cvtbatch buffchan batcher archive filter control pullnews
	news2mail mailpost simpleftp mod-active cnfsstat scanspool
	innreport controlbatch innwatch pgpverify innstat inncheck
	sendbatch send-uucp send-nntp send-ihave nntpsend innmail
	tally.control expirerm controlchan scanlogs news.daily
	writelog parsecontrol rc.news innfeed-convcfg procbatch
	startinnfeed innfeed expireindex prunehistory newsrequeue
	makehistory makeactive grephistory fastrm expireover expire
	convdate actived nnrpd inndstart innd sm rnews.libexec
	innconfval getlist ctlinnd rnews inews auth

>Fix:
	The out-of-box install puts the sysadmin programs in
	/usr/news/bin -- a nice out of the way directory.  If the
	netbsd really wants this under pkgsrc perhaps /usr/pkg/sbin
	(or /usr/pkg/newsbin ???)  would be a better place?
