[Bug 263675] [NEW PORT] dns/acme-dns

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263675

--- Comment #4 from Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org> ---
No, libexec is not for shared libraries, it is the place for binaries that are
not typically started from an interactive shell (but rather as a service, from
inetd, or invoked as a sub-process that is not run on its own).

The major difference is that commands in libexec are not in any shell path by
default, you have to invoke them with a full path (or temporarily add libexec
to the PATH in the current process environment).

Since this is a command that is waiting for requests as a background task
started as a service via etc/rc.d, I'd think that it should be placed in
libexec and the full path should be patched into the rc file.

This will not be necessary for a command in sbin, but then it will clutter the
list of commands presented to an administrator that uses name completion in a
shell, for example. And I'd try to avoid that for commands that are not used in
interactive shells.
