    Please tell your boss that running FP extensions is an invitation for
    hackers and will be more of a maintainance headache than anything.

    Please read /usr/ports/ww/mod_frontpage/pkg-message. You should have seen
    this message when you did the "make install" in mod_frontpage. You have to
    do all of these steps in order to configure a website for FrontPage.
