why wouldn't you continue to do that on NetBSD?

last time I checked, apache was no longer set up to run on Port 80 by =
default
(i.e. in the default install) but instead on Port 8080 or some such.  =
Maybe that
was just a weird apache dist that I had, but I'd find your apache =
httpd.conf file
and grep for "Port" to find out which Port it's running on. =20

I guess I would expect the conf file to be in /usr/pkg/conf but I'm not =
sure.
When in doubt (and given a couple of minutes) do a: find /usr -name =
"httpd.conf"
or: find /etc -name "httpd.conf"
and then look to see what port apache is running on.
