When building vsftpd I get the following linker error:

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/net/vsftpd/work/vsftpd-2.0.4

I looked through all the lib*.so files in /usr/lib and found inet_aton
in libresolv.so.
net/vsftpd/Makefile needed to be modified so that

     LIBS.SunOS=  -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lsendfile

becomes

     LIBS.SunOS= -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lsendfile

and then everything works.

How do I go about getting this updated in CVS ?
