Re: [CFT] sysutils/bsdconfig: Replacement for sysinstall(8)

New minor revision 0.7.1 committed to ports.

Bugfix:
- Certain services in "Toggle Startup Services" (under the "Startup" menu) =
could not be toggled off.

If you have already installed 0.7.0, portupgrade should make short work of =
updating to the latest version.
