No argus port maintainer for FreeBSD

[elof2 at sentor.se]

I asked him when to expect an update of the argus3 ports and he replied 
that there were unfortunetly not much free time but that I was welcome to 
take over as maintainer.

Since I'm no programmer, I asked him to mail this mailing-list to look for 
volunteers. Since I've seen no such email I took the matter in my own 
hands and sent an email to the list on Alexander's behalf.
I hope he is okay with that.

I just want the port to be live and updated again.


I see no problem if you (Paul) take over as maintainer of argus3 ports. 
It is actually kind of suitable, since you are already the maintainer for 
other net/security ports.

I leave it to the list, the volunteers and Alexander to work out whom will 
take over.
