The binaries go into /usr/local/sbin instead of >/usr/sbin and look for config files in /usr/local/etc. Yuck. Kinda makes me curious as to what advantage the "ports" provide at times. You know? Scenario 1: go into the bind91 port, make, make install. done. versus Scenario 2: updating the source tree, checking /etc/make.conf, delete /usr/obj, make buildworld, make buildkernel, go to single user mode, make installworld, mergemaster, makedev all, updating sysinstall, reboot. Not to mention you're taken from your current version of FreeBSD into a new, and possibly somewhat unstable version. Guess I have some work ahead of me! ;-) -me To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
