If it compiles out of the box, there may be no *patching* necessary but that still doesn't mean I can pull a port out of thin air. :) In particular, I need a Makefile with all the ftp information, and a pkg/* subdirectory with the package description files. Please take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html If it's so easy to compile, you can probably create the port by just reading the "Quick Porting" and "Sample Makefiles" sections. * Content-Type: APPLICATION/octet-stream; name="runas-3.01.tar.gz" (To others: this was the original source.)
