Hi Scot, Jun Kuriyama brought it to our attention. There is only one slight problem with the patch: It doesn't account for the future when rc.subr in the system might not provide expected behavior or support for some ports. Which means at some point we need to find some way to support older 5.x systems with rcNG. But for now portmgr is going to test the patch on bento and hopefully commit soon. regards, -- wca
