Argus is a generic IP network transaction auditing tool that has been used 
by thousands of sites to perform a number of powerful network management 
tasks that are currently not possible using commercial network management 
tools.

Argus runs as an application level daemon, promiscuously reading network
datagrams from a specified interface, and generates network traffic audit
records for the network activity that it encounters.  It is the way that
Argus categorizes and reports on network activity that makes this tool
unique and powerful.

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
  fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

Update to Argus release 2.0.6.
The clients are no longer part of this port, but will be built by
the argus-clients port, which is listed as a dependency.
Since both the argus and argus-clients ports contain the same
COPYING file and want to install it into the same directory, I have
disabled installation of the copyright file by this port, assuming
that the dependent argus-clients port already did it ...

Say hello to the new "net-mgmt" category.  There are probably more
ports that belong here than the ones I have identified and moved in
this, first, pass.
