For software to send the pages, I use the "gammu" port.

FreeBSD separates configuration files for the system (/etc
subtree) and for additional ports (/usr/local/etc subtree),
so /usr/local/etc/gammurc would, in my opinion, be the
correct place for this file.

I agree. However, the related man pages didn't reference this option. This seems like
a place where the code and docs could use a small patch to work this way on FreeBSD.
(Or maybe it already works this way, and the docs don't reflect it).

I suppose in my case, I could still move the config file to /usr/local/etc/ and then
symlink it from /etc/, which would meet the requirements of the software, and also meet
the expectations of someone expecting a standard FreeBSD layout.

Many thanks, Mark, this really sounds interesting and useful,
a very good combination. :-)

You are welcome. I have been running a hosting business on FreeBSD since about 1997 and it
has worked very well for us.

Mark
