Or "data".  :)

I understand that a site administrator would keep widely-shared documents
in /usr/share that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for the www.  Of
course.  For that reason, it's the appropriate location of user &
administrator documentation, too, with judicious use of chmod.  

Someone else replied offlist (which confused me into partly answering him
here) that mgetty+sendfax installs sample files whose content is derived
from the installing machine in /usr/local/share, which is OK, I guess. 
But I wouldn't think anyone would want pkgsrc to install such information
in /usr/share, given its purpose.  

Hope that's a little clearer.

P.S. O.T.  I wish the NetBSD mailing lists would set ReplyTo:.  Most of
the lists I use do, and my mail client is sensitive to it.  I'm at an age
at which I get easily confused.  Maybe I always was.
