Just a question, is the distinction between "export" and "nonexport" only for encryption reasons. If it is, is it possible to use the "USA_RESIDENT" variable to select the correct setting and hence have only *ONE* apache port ? I know I am pushing it, but if there are existing mechanism, let's use them. Patrick. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
