[BUGFIX] For those running sysutils/bsdstats

[Marc G Fournier]

Hi ..

  In order to test, I just installed DragonFly BSD and did a ‘pkg install bsdstats’, which worked fine, but running ‘bsdstats-send’ from the command line failed because of a requirement for /usr/local/bin/netcat … I’m not sure why I ever coded that to use netcat instead of /usr/bin/nc, but I just submitted a patch to FreeBSD ports so that DragonFly would use /usr/bin/nc ( among other fixes ) …

  If you have tried to install bsdstats in the past, but never manually ran it and saw the error indicating that it didn’t work, please apply the attached patch to /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics …

  I’ve also updated the code available at http://bsdstats.org/bt/instructions.html <http://bsdstats.org/bt/instructions.html> which includes the whole patched version.

  I ran my tests on 5.6-RELEASE, so if anyone notices any issues with olders releases, please reach out and let me know so that I can investigate accordingly …

Thanks ...
