virtualbox-2.2.51.r20457_3 from ports

[Jochen Keil]

Hello,

After installing virtualbox from emulators ports i noticed several issues:

* kldloading vboxdrv.ko crashed my box, loading on boot via loader.conf
works with problems though


* /usr/local/lib/virtualbox is only readable by root:
$ ls -ld /usr/local/lib/virtualbox
drwx------  3 root  wheel  1024 10 Aug 03:32 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox

which means:
$ ls -ld /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox
ls: /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: Permission denied

i can start virtualbox as root though:
$ sudo ls -ld /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox
-r-s--x--x  1 root  vboxusers  19236 10 Aug 03:32
/usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox

my user (that is me :) is a member of the vboxusers group.


* /usr/local/lib seems a bit odd as an installation location for a
freebsd user although somebody mentioned to me that this is/was common
on system v and solaris.

$ uname -a

P.S.
Please add me to CC if you answer, since i did not subscribe to
emulation at freebsd.org
