I just loaded FreeBSD 5.3 a few days ago, and generally things are running well, with a few exceptions: 1) How do I stop the Sendmail daemons from starting at boot? I have sendmail_enable="NO" set in /etc/rc.conf, but two sendmail processes are running after boot. 2) How do I set GCC flags when compiling a port. I added CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe" to /etc/make.conf, but get an error when building a port. The error is get is "env: -pipe No such file or directory" 3) I think I might have a permissions problem in my home directory. Certain applications (Firefox and xfce, for exacmple) can't seem to write files under my home directory. I can create files using an editor, and download files, but these two applications fail when trying to modify their configuration options. 4) I installed portupgrade from the port, and built the database using 'pkgdb -f', but whenever I run portupgrade or portversion, it displays a message "Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.." and hangs there forever. How do I fix this? - Jerry
