I would hate for something to go wrong with my production server. Do you think it is OK to just load the same version of FreeBSD on another machine and then copy over the files I need? I made a mistake installing the Heimdal port into /usr instead of the default /usr/local and then when I realized it, I did a deinstall and it took out Kerberized files like ftpd, su, login, etc. from /usr/bin that it had replaced. I have the list of files in the ports distfiles and just need to get them back. -- Robert
