I guess that's why it doesn't honour the options in make.conf? But what you say is a point nevertheless. If I were to use the newer version of BIND from ports (for instance), then freebsd-update would end up replacing it ... hmm, not nice. Maybe there's some way to ignore certain stuff through freebsd-update.conf(5)? The "IgnorePaths" setting seems an option where one can set paths to be ignore ... I suppose that can be used in such a situation? (Any examples anyone?) Regards, Rakhesh
