When you say HEAD, do you mean the HEAD of 8-CURRENT or 7-STABLE? In either case whether or not it works depends on whether something has changed in the kernel that has a required userland change. On the other hand, if you mean 7-STABLE, then the ports should work properly whether userland does or not. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
