'ello all.

I was wondering if anybody is working on a port for the latest version
of sudo.  The vanilla distribution craps out in a yacc file and I'm
afraid I don't know yacc syntax rules.

Also, a couple problems that may want to be updated in future ports
distributions:

1) The defaults for ytalk (executing 'make' from the
/usr/ports/net/ytalk directory) assume that the machine has X
installed (which my poor 386-40 with limited diskspace wont enjoy
running).  Easy enough to get around by just going into the work/ytalk
directory and executing 'make' all by it's lonesome.  Maybe a
dependency check or a user question would fit the bill.

2) On my machine, making the pdksh-5.1.3 port hangs during the
configure script while checking for mmap.  From then on, anything that
tries to access the directory where make was running loses terminal
control.  I was stupid and tried to enter the directory from all my
virtual terminals leaving me with no way to shutdown the system
except the three-fingered salute.  I am running the 950412 snapshot
and just supped the distribution yesterday (95/04/25).

3) Not really ports related, but when trying to install the
pdksh-5.1.3 package (retrieved from freefall), it craps out on a call
to one of the mtools exe's (I'll have to go back to see if I remember
which one).

More details available upon request.

Cheers,
