 I can't reproduce this problem on my system.  The way that binary 
 packages are installed is that the +INSTALL script runs the PRE-INSTALL 
 action to create the various +DIRS, +FILES, etc. sub-scripts within the 
 temporary directory, and then during the package registration, all of 
 the +* files are copied into /var/db/pkg/<pkgname>.  The copying happens 
 in line 875 of pkg_install/files/add/perform.c.  It works correctly on 
 my system:
 
 pkg_comp:default.conf# pkg_info -V
 20050204
 pkg_comp:default.conf# pkg_add /p/packages/All/fam-2.7.0nb5.tgz

 Because FAM uses RPC, you have to add the following line to the system's
 portmapper file (/etc/rpc):
 
          sgi_fam    391002    fam    # File Alteration Monitor
 
 After that, restart the rpcbind(8) server.
 
 Furthermore, you have to enable the FAM daemon.  There are two ways to do
 this: through inetd(8) or as a standalone server.  If you prefer the former
 way, add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
 
          sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/pkg/sbin/famd famd
 
 and reload inetd(8)'s daemon.  However, if you prefer the later way, use
 the provided famd rc.d(8) script.
