sudo

It's not really anything I need, as I'm the only real user for my server, but sudo looks like an important port for those running FreeBSD boxes that want to selectively give others permission to run utilities that are normally reserved for the root user. If you run into this, and don't want to give a user the root password (almost certainly not!) or even make them a member of the very special "wheel" group (which allows them to su as root), you might look into installing this port.
