Someone at MacPorts/DarwinPorts has a sense of humor

Notice anything funny about this:

gromit:~ snolan$ ls -la /opt/local/sbin
total 72
drwxr-xr-x   4 root  admin    136 21 Feb 14:10 .
drwxr-xr-x  12 root  admin    408 14 Feb 11:56 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin      0  9 Jan 22:48 .turd_MacPorts
-r-s--x--x   2 root  admin  35564 21 Feb 14:10 fping

In UNIX sysadmin lingo, a “turd” is an unneeded file left around by a careless fellow sysadmin or user.
Hat tip to Dave for pointing it out.
