The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
seatd is a seat management daemon, that does everything it needs to do. Nothing more, nothing less. Depends only on libc. libseat is a seat management library allowing applications to use whatever seat management is available. Supports: - seatd - (e)logind - embedded seatd for standalone operation Each backend can be compile-time included and is runtime auto-detected or manually selected with the `LIBSEAT_BACKEND` environment variable. Which backend is in use is transparent to the application, providing a simple common interface.

sysutils/seatd: reduce syslog(3) spam after bc9ab6b61ec4

seatd on FreeBSD is usually started by rc.d via deamon(8) with console
output redirected to /var/log/messages. In 0.7.0 upstream raised verbosity
for seatd despite changing seatd-launch to explicitly pass "-l info".
As there was no explanation (in upstream commit) simply revert the change.

Requested by:	ziaee

(cherry picked from commit fd5b4ec95301c9c4285d6910be4de0aaedf320f2)
